A5.45-g combustible sample is burned in a calorimeter. the heat generated changes the temperature of 555 g of water from 20.5°c to 39.5°c. how much energy is released by the burning? the specific heat of water is 4.18 j/ (°c × g). 564 j 2,500 j 44,100 j 138,000 j

Given:
m = 555 g, the mass of water in the calorimeter
ΔT = 39.5 - 20.5 = 19 °C, temperature change
c = 4.18 J/(°C-g), specific heat of  water

Assume that all generated heat goes into heating the water.
Then the energy released is
Q = mcΔT
    = (555 g)*(4.18 J/(°C-g)*(19 °C)
    = 44,078.1 J
    = 44,100 J (approximately)

 44,100 J

Ke reqd to move from 0 to 50 will be proportional to 50x50 or 2500. this is equal to w.  to change vel from 50 to 150 you need energy prop to 22500 - 2500 = 20,000. this corresponds to 8w.  best answer is a) . work reqd is prop to velocity squared.
