Answer:
The volume of water is 139 mL.
Explanation:
Due to the Law of conservation of energy, the heat lost by coffee is equal to the heat gained by the water, that is, the sum of heats is equal to zero.

The heat (Q) can be calculated using the following expression:

where,
c is the specific heat of each substance
m is the mass of each substance
ΔT is the difference in temperature for each substance
The mass of coffee is:

Then,

The volume of water is:

Answer:
Force is applied to the point where the can can't handle it and starts to get crushed
Explanation:
Answer:
(a) the blocks all had different masses.
Explanation:
The surface is smooth, therefore coefficient of friction is tending to zero.
Forces for each blocks varied from 6N to 8N to 7N to 5N
The blocks were made of different materials and different materials are going to have varying weight for the same size of block.
