You are going to need a value for heat capacity of water, which tells us, how much energy is needed to heat 1 g of water by 1 degree of Kelvin scale (which can be considered the same as Celsius in this case, since we are only looking at temperature difference).
For liquid water at this temperature range, the value is:
cp = 4.1813 J/(g*K)
The amount of mechanical energy needed to heat the water is then:
E = ΔT * m * cp , where:
E - amount of mechanical energy,
m - mass of heated substance (in grams),
ΔT - temperature difference [K]; in this case: ΔT = 95 K - 20 K = 75 K,
cp - heat capacity [J/(g*K)].
After plugging in the numbers, we get:
E = 75 K * 300 g * 4.1813 J/g*K = 94 079.25 J,
which is about the energy released on impact from 1 ton weight falling 10 meters - and that's assuming there is no dissipation.

What happens when you squeeze a gas into a smal ler place?
In that case, its pressure will increase. In the short term, its temperature will also increase, due to the energy required to squeeze it.
Why drift velocity increases on increasing temperature?
because the kinetic energy of electron increase with increase in temperature. this increase in kinetic energy increase drift velocity
What happens to internal energy when mechanical work is done?
Increase.
Is it possible for a frictional force to increase the mechanical energy of a system?
your question is not clear but fro what i could understand, i can tell you that frictional force always opposes motion of mechanical system ( so it would decrease the system's mechanical energy) therefore i can never increase it.
Why does the temperature not change during a phase change?
During the change of state, the molecules of a substance absorb energy to overcome the strong intermolecular force of attraction between them. Hence the heat energy which we supply is absorbed by them for this purpose. So change in temperature is not observed.
When mechanical work is done on a system there is an increase in what?
both temperature and internal energy
Devices that convert sound energy into mechanical energy?
Sound energy is mechanical energy. No devices are required to make a conversion.
What is the energy called when mechanical energy decreases and temperature increases?
Force

Why do power plant designers try to increase the temperature of the steam fed to engines as much as possible?
The hotter the steam the higher the energy in the steam and the more energy to be transformed to mechanical motion.
Why drift velocity increases on increasing temperature?
because the kinetic energy of electron increase with increase in temperature. this increase in kinetic energy increase drift velocity
How does the temperature of gas change when it is compressed if the process is adiabatic?
In an adiabatic process, the temperature is increased when it is compressed. There is an increase in internal kinetic energy, and because temperature is related to kinetic energy, it is also increased.
What happens to internal energy when mechanical work is done?
Increase.
When an ice cube melts does its mechanical energy increase?
yes
How do particles of matter react to an increase of temperature?
When there is an increase in an object or medium's temperature, its particles have increase kinetic energy. Temperature is the measure of the average amount of kinetic energy within an object or medium.
What does a temperature increase cause the rate of a reaction to increase?
As temperature increase the speed and energy of molecules increase and the collisions are more probable.
