उत्तर
Given:-
Mass of the brick, m = 4 kg
Total vertical distance travelled by the brick, h = 3 m
Percentage of gravitational potential energy converted to thermal energy = 80
Total change in potential energy of the brick = mgh = 4 × 10 × 3 = 120 J
`"Thermal Energy"=120xx80/100=96 J`
Thermal energy in calories is given by
`U=96/4.2=22.857"cal"approx23"cal"`
