Answer:
F in the definition of potential energy is the force exerted by the force field, e.g., gravity, spring force, etc. The potential energy U is equal to the work you must do against that force to move an object from the U=0 reference point to the position r.
Explanation:
What do we know that might help here ?
-- Temperature of a gas is actually the average kinetic energy of its molecules.
-- When something moves faster, its kinetic energy increases.
Knowing just these little factoids, we realize that as a gas gets hotter, the average speed of its molecules increases.
That's exactly what Graph #1 shows.
How about the other graphs ?
-- Graph #3 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed DEcreases. That can't be right.
-- Graph #4 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed doesn't change at all. That can't be right.
-- Graph #2 says that after the gas reaches some temperature and you heat it hotter than that, the speed of the molecules starts going DOWN. That can't be right.

Watts=V*I so in turn I= W/V 375/125 = 3
It would take 3 Amps
Compare the initial mass to the final mass.
