1.42
Explanation:
<em> got it right on my homework </em>
Answer:
208.33 W
141.26626 seconds
Explanation:
E = Energy = 
t = Time taken = 8 h
m = Mass = 2000 kg
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = Height of platform = 1.5 m
Power is obtained when we divide energy by time

The average useful power output of the person is 208.33 W
The energy in the next part would be the potential energy
The time taken would be

The time taken to lift the load is 141.26626 seconds
<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.
