The correct answer is C. Plug in x and y value for answers to see if they work. For example, 9/3 = 3. So C is the answer.
Answer:
<h2>82.94 N</h2>
Explanation:
The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula
force = mass × acceleration
From the question we have
force = 28.8 × 2.88 = 82.944
We have the final answer as
<h3>82.94 N</h3>

<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.
