1. Read carefully the first screen of the sim (where the Begin button is) - it describes the experiment setup and has information about the initial temperature of the solid object. Record the initial temperature of the solid object on the Data Sheet.

1. When you reach Step 2from the sim, read and record the mass of the cup on the Data Sheet.
2. Step3 from the sim -read and record the mass of the water and the cup on the Data Sheet.
3. Calculate the mass of the water and record on the Data Sheet.
4. Step 4 from the sim - read and record the mass of the solid object on the Data Sheet.
5. Step 8 from the sim - once you reach this step, the temperature probe will start measuring the temperature of the water (see the graph). This is the initial temperature of the water. Make sure to move to Step 9 quickly (do not spend more than 40-60 seconds on Step 8).

1. Step 9from the sim - now the object is dropped in the water and you will observe increasing the temperature of the water until equilibrium is reached (see the graph). Record the initial temperature of the water (before the object was dropped into it) and the final temperature of the water (see the Data Sheet).

1. Using conservation of energy, calculate the specific heat capacity of the solid object. Show work.

1. Step 10 from the sim -enter a name and the calculated value for the specific heat capacity and pressSubmit.Include a screenshot of the last page of the sim in your lab report(it tells you if you got the correct value for the specific heat capacity).
