Answer:
(c) more than 500
Explanation:
Until 2019, more than 3000 planetary systems have been discovered that contain more than 4000 exoplanets, since some of these systems contain multiple planets. Most known extrasolar planets are gas giants equal to or more massive than the planet Jupiter, with orbits very close to its star.
Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .
The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.
Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-
![c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BQ%7D%7Bm%5BT%27-T%5D%7D)
Here c is the specific heat capacity.
The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.
As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.
From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.
Because it doesn't use energy it uses mechanical and kinetic
The mass of the ion is 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg
<u>Explanation:</u>
The electrical energy given to the ion Vq will be changed into kinetic energy 
As the ion moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B then the magnetic Lorentz force Bqv will be balanced by centrifugal force
.
So,

and

Right from these eliminating v, we can derive

On substituting the value, we get:

m = 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg.
