They can pretty much be by water i think
A. Molecular solids tend to have lower melting points than Ionic so it would be Ionic if it weren't for Molecular.
Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
Mass of the object m = 2.9 kg
Force F1 = 28.449 N
F1 = m1 x a => a = F / m => 28.449 / 2.9 => a = 9.81, which is gravitational acceleration.
In the same lab, a = g = 9.81, second object F2 = 48.7N = m2 x a
m2 = F2 / a => 48.7 / 9.81 => m2 = 4.96 kg
Mass of the second object m2 = 4.96 kg
