Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the
Marrrta [24]

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]}

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.

What is the value of acceleration due to gravity at heght h=4re​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: Formula for Acceleration Due to Gravity

These two laws lead to the most useful form of the formula for calculating acceleration due to gravity: g = G*M/R^2, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the universal gravitational constant, M is mass, and R is distance.please mark as brainliest

Colt1911 [192]
Newton's first law of motion is an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by another force. Driving at 30 mph in a car is going to stay constant until you crash the car into a wall, stopping the car.
