Thermal energy transformation is taking place.
Answer
The answer and procedures of the exercise are attached in the following archives.
Step-by-step explanation:
You will find the procedures, formulas or necessary explanations in the archive attached below. If you have any question ask and I will aclare your doubts kindly.
(a) -48.0 cm, diverging
We can use the lens equation:

where
f is the focal length
p = 16.0 cm is the object distance
q = -12.0 cm is the image distance (with a negative sign because the image is on the same side as the object, so it is virtual)
Solving for f, we find the focal length of the lens:


The lens is diverging, since the focal length is negative.
(b) 6.38 mm, erect
We can use the magnification equation:

where
y' is the size of the image
y = 8.50 mm is the size of the object
Substituting p and q that we used in the previous part of the problem, we find y':

and the image is erect, since the sign is positive.
(c)
See attached picture.
Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)
Work done = (force to lift the object) x (distance lifted)
In this question, the force is the (weight of the basket)+(your weight).
Work done = (weight of basket+you) x (3 meters)
Time to do the work = 6 seconds.
Power = (weights x 3 meters) / (6 seconds)
<em>Power = (1/2)·(weight of the basket+you, in Newtons) watts</em>
I think it’s [ C ] because it not to high and it doesn’t have a lot of waves like the rest.
I hope this help sorry it it wrong but that’s what I think c:
