Work is a form of energy transfer.  The energy transferred to the water by the pump is used, first, to raise the water to the surface (potential energy) and then any remaining energy that has been transferred appears as kinetic energy as the water shoots out (presumably from a hose) at the top.

 

Not sure if this answers your question!

Not gonna lie its probably 8

(a) Work per minute = Potential energy per minute = mgh

Work each minute = 800*9.8*14 J = 109760 J

 

(b) Work per minute = kinetic energy per minute

Work each minute = (1/2)*800*182 J = 129600 J

 

(c) Power = rate of doing work = (109760 + 129600)/60  ≈ 3989 W  (because 1 W = 1 J/s)

for b , why you put  work = kinetic energy 

 

It must be The difference between the kinetic energy 

can you illustrate it for me ~ ?
