Question
Did joule converted mechanical energy to heat energy? Explain.
Solution
Joule essentially converted mechanical energy to internal energy. In his experiment potential energy is converted to the rotational kinetic energy of paddle wheel and this rotational kinetic energy is converted to the internal energy of water.
