The highest waterfall in the world is the Salto Angel in Venezuela. Its longest single falls has a height of 807 m. If water at

the top of the falls is at 17.3°C, what is the maximum temperature of the water at the bottom of the falls? Assume all the kinetic energy of the water as it reaches the bottom goes into raising its temperature.

Answer:

Temperature at the bottom will be 19.18°C

Explanation:

We have given height h = 807 m

Temperature at the top =17.3^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water c = 4200 J/kg/^{\circ}C

From energy conservation

Kinetic energy at the bottom = potential energy at the top

So mc\Delta T=mgh

\Delta T=\frac{gh}{c}=\frac{9.8\times 807}{4200}=1.88^{\circ}C

So temperature at the bottom = 17.3+1.88 = 19.18°C

An incompressible fluid flows at .252 m/s through a 44 diameter (circular cross section) pipe. The pipe widens to a square cross
Serggg [28]

ANSWER:

The easiest way to get a fairly accurate measure of your water flow rate is to time yourself filling up a bucket. So for example if you fill up a 10 litre bucket in 1.5 minutes, then your flow rate will be: 10/1.5 = 6.66 Litres per minute.

A cyclotron is to accelerate protons to an energy of 5.4 MeV. The superconduction electromagnet of the cyclotron produces a 2.9T
mart [117]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Radius = 0.0818 m

Angular velocity = 2.775 × 10^7 rad/sec

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The mass of proton m=1.6748 × 10^-27 kg;  

Charge of electron e= 1.602 × 10^-19 C;  

kinetic energy E= 2.7 MeV

                          = 2.7 × 10^6 × 1.602 × 10^-19 J;

                          = 4.32 × 10^-13 Joules

But; K.E =0.5m*v^2,

Hence v=√(2K.E/m)

Velocity = 2.27 × 10^7 m/s

Angular velocity, ω = v/r

Therefore; V = ωr

Hence; V = √(2K.E/m) = ωr

r= √(2E/m)/w = √E*√(2*m)/(eB)

  = √E * √(2×1.6748×10^-27)/(1.602×10^-19 ×2.9)

but E =  4.32 × 10^-13 Joules

  r = 0.0818 m

Angular speed

Angular velocity, ω = v/r , where r is the radius and v is the velocity

Therefore;

Angular velocity = 2.27 × 10^7 / 0.0818 m

                            = 2.775 × 10^7 rad /sec

A cannon fires a shell straight upward; 2.3 s after it is launched, the shell is moving upward with a speed of 17 m/s. Assuming
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The speed of the shell at launch and 5.4 s after the launch is 13.38 m/s it is moving towards the Earth.                    

Explanation:

Let u is the initial speed of the launch. Using first equation of motion as :

u=v-at

a=-g

u=v+gt\\\\u=17+9.8\times 2.3\\\\u=39.54\ m/s

The velocity of the shell at launch and 5.4 s after the launch is given by :

v=u-gt\\\\v=39.54-9.8\times 5.4\\\\v=-13.38\ m/s

So, the speed of the shell at launch and 5.4 s after the launch is 13.38 m/s it is moving towards the Earth.
