James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than

the water at the top, 51 m above the bottom. He reasoned that the falling water would transform its gravitational potential energy at the top into thermal energy at the bottom, where turbulence brings the water almost to a halt.. If this transformation is the only process occurring, how much warmer will the water at the bottom be? The specific heat of water is 4190 J/(kg?K).

Answer:

0.12 K

Explanation:

height, h = 51 m

let the mass of water is m.

Specific heat of water, c = 4190 J/kg K

According to the transformation of energy

Potential energy of water = thermal energy of water

m x g x h = m x c x ΔT

Where, ΔT is the rise in temperature

g x h =  c x ΔT

9.8 x 51 = 4190 x ΔT

ΔT = 0.12 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 0.12 K.

To understand the vector nature of momentum in the case in which two objects collide and stick together. In this problem we will
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Applying the law's theory and utilizing the equation of momentum ie. p=mv

Explanation:

The law of conservation of linear momentum states that the momentum in a <em>closed</em> system remains constant. Because a collision is inelastic, this proves that the system is closed. So the equation of momentum is p=mv, p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity.

Because the momentum is conserved, the momentum (p) before the collision should be equal to the p after the collision, so we can equate them and solve for the unknown:

p=m.v

p(before) = p(after)

m(before) x v(before) = m(after) x v(after)

using this equation, you solve it and this helps you solve collision problems.

Can a small child play with fat child on the seesaw?Explain how?
RoseWind [281]
Yes a small child can play with fat child in the seesaw because if the the load distance is decreased the effort will increase. That's means if the distance between the fat boy and the fulcrum is decreased the small child needs less effort.so,he can play

A ball with an initial velocity of 2 m/s rolls for a period of 3 seconds. If the ball is uniformly accelerating at a rate of 3 m
ikadub [295]

Answer: 11 m/s

vinitial=2 m/s

time=3 s

acceleration = 3 m/s^2

vfinal = ?

The key here is that it is a constant acceleration, so we can use the constant acceleration equations. The easiest one to use would be:

vfinal=vinitial + a*t

We need vfinal, so algebraically we are ready to put in numbers into the equation:

vfinal=vinitial + a*t = 2 m/s + (3 m/s^2)*(3 s ) = 11 m/s is the final velocity

The young tree was bent and has been brought into a vertical position by the three guy cables. If tension at AB = 0, AC = 10 lb,
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The young tree, originally bent, has been brought into the vertical position by adjusting the three guy-wire tensions to AB = 7 lb, AC = 8 lb, and AD = 10 lb. Determine the force and moment reactions at the trunk base point O. Neglect the weight of the tree.

C and D are 3.1' from the y axis B and C are 5.4' away from the x axis and A has a height of 5.2'

Explanation:

See attached picture.
