Answer : The correct option is, (D) A machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds.
Explanation :
Power : It is defined a the rate of doing work per unit time.
Formula used :

where,
P = power
w = work done
t = time
Now we have to determine the rate of power for the following options.
(A) A machine does 200 joules of work in 10 seconds.

(B) A machine does 400 joules of work in 10 seconds.

(C) A machine does 200 joules of work in 5 seconds.

(D) A machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds.

From this we conclude that, a machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds has the highest rate of power.
Hence, the correct option is, (D)
Answer:
The correct option is D
Explanation:
In trying to achieve what the student wanted to see, which is to see the relationship between the weight the cord can hold and how long the cord will stretch. Since the origin of the graph is from zero, the value plotted on the vertical axis would be just the length caused by each weights. Thus, <u>the original length would have to be subtracted from the measured length to determine the actual length caused by the weight added to the cord</u>.
