A group of students were investigating the force of gravity. They began by dropping a foam ball from a height of 3 meters into a bucket of sand. The ball hit the sand in 0.306 seconds. They dropped additional balls of approximately the same diameter, but of different masses. Here is the data they collected. Based on this experiment and the collected data, what would their conclusion be? A) Gravitational attraction is dependent on the mass of an object.
B) The greater the mass of the object the greater the acceleration due to gravity and the faster it will fall.
C) Mass does not affect the speed of falling objects assuming there is only the force of gravity acting on the objects.
D) Mass becomes a factor affecting the speed of a falling object when the object is dropped a great distance from the surface of the Earth.

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?
