E = mass x gravity x height
<h3>Hello there!</h3>
Here, you are looking for the amount of heat put in for water, at a mass of 187 grams, to change by 80 degrees.
The equation commonly accepted to find the answer to questions like these is the specific heat formula.
The equation is Q = mc∆T, where Q is the amount of energy put in to raise the temperature by a certain amount, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the amount of temperature change.
The information given:
m = 187 grams
c = specific heat capacity of water, or in this case 1 calorie, or 4.184 joules (which is what we will be using)
ΔT = 80 degrees
Now just plug everything in to solve.
Q = 187 * 4.184 * 80
Q = 62592.64
So you have your answer: 62592.64 joules.
Hope this helped!

Because it’s falling it has acceleration in the y direction. If you have acceleration, you usually also have velocity, and since kinetic energy is KE= Mv^2 you know you have it. It also has potential energy because it has some height to it, and PE= Mgh.
