<u>Answer </u>
A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water
<u>Explanation</u>
James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.
The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.
From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.
A. because I had this question yesterday.
Answer:
Explanation:
We know that
Acceleration due to gravity g is given by the formula
G= gravitational constant
M= mass of the Earth
r= radius of the earth
Let acc. due to gravity after radius is 20% greater be g_2
then
=> g1/g2 = (r_2/r_1)^2 => g2 = 9.81/1.2^2 = 6.8125
Answer:
169/4 ft/min.
