Answer 1

To determine the heat transfer in a cup of coffee with milk and sugar added, we can organize the components of the experiment as follows:

**Independent Variables:**
- Mass of sugar (g)
- Mass of milk (g)

**Dependent Variable:**
- Temperature change inside the cup (ΔT)

**Control:**
- Specific heat capacity of coffee (c)
- Mass of coffee (g)

This structure will allow you to examine how changes in the mass of sugar and milk affect the temperature change in the coffee while controlling for its specific heat capacity and mass.
