Assume that the iron block is 175 g and that the beaker contains 75 m hot water, or 75 gince the density of water
is 1.00 if you heat the metal directly on the burner to
about 275°C and then place it in the room temperature (
25° C) water, the temperature of the combined water and
iron equilibrates at 75º C Note that the specific heat of
water is 4.182, J/g•C
Using these values, what is the specific heat of iron in
units of J/g•C? Please answer to the nearest 0.001
J
9 °C

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

force tends to be low and long diustance masses are high
