Can someone explain this answer pls? thank you
Solution: The correct answer is D. A. 125J is too low by a factor of 4. This can only result kg• ' from a computational error. B. 250J is too low by a factor of 2. This can only result kg• C from a computational error. C. 375J kg•°C is too low by 25%. This can result from incorrectly calculating the temperature change as 4°C instead of 5°C. D. The answer can be obtained by dimensional analysis of the units. (0.1kg.5°C) (kg: "C) 250J 500J
