Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Distance is a scalar quantity. It refers only to how far an object has traveled. For example, 4 feet is a distance; it gives no information about direction.
Force bc it says the ability to make stuff happen
The Specific Heat Capacity of silver is 230 J/kgK, melting point is 961.8 C so the difference is 941.8K. Now we simply do q=230J/kgK*16.5kg*941.8K and that is 3 574 131 J
