A copper block of mass 100g at a temperature of 150 degree celcius is dropped into a copper calorimeter of 40g containing 80g of water at 30 degree celcius. Calculate the steady final temperature of the mixture assuming no heat is lost to the surrounding.(s. h.c of copper and water are 400jkg-1k-1 and 4200jkg-1k-1)​

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.

The answer to the question is (a)   

Decrease the surface area of the object and also decrease the concentration which will allow the particles to collide faster
