Answer:
a) 
b) This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).
c) The material is peat, possibly.
d) The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of aluminium,
- mass of water,
- initial temperature of the system,
- mass of copper block,
- temperature of copper block,
- mass of the other block,
- temperature of the other block,
- final equilibrium temperature,
We have,
specific heat of aluminium, 
specific heat of copper, 
specific heat of water, 
Using the heat energy conservation equation.
The heat absorbed by the system of the calorie-meter to reach the final temperature.
The heat released by the blocks when dipped into water:
where
specific heat of the unknown material
For the conservation of energy : 
so,
b)
This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).
c)
The material is peat, possibly.
d)
The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.
If you are pushing the coin across the table at a constant rate, the friction of the table and the horizontal force of your hand pushing are equal, and the coin itself moves at a constant rate. If you push a coin and let it go, there is no horizontal force keeping the coin going. Friction slows the coin to a stop. In both cases, the gravitational downward pull of Earth is equally but oppositely resisted by the upward push of table on the coin.
Answer:
The results have not been through the rigorous process of peer review
Explanation:
When a scientist conducts a study and obtains results, those results ought to be submitted to a reputable journal where the results would go through the rigorous protocol of peer review.
During this process, the reliability of the data presented is ascertained before the results are published for other scientists to see.
If the results are hurriedly published on the internet, many researchers who come in contact with the work may be fed with inaccurate information.
The mass of an object has no effect whatsoever on the object's
acceleration during free-fall. If there is no air resistance to interfere
with the natural effects of gravity, then a feather and a battleship ...
dropped at the same time ... fall together, and hit the ground at the
same time.
