Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, and the average height of the falls is about 50 m. Knowing

that the graviatational potential energy of falling water per second = mass (kg) x height (m) x gravity (9.8 m/s2), what is the power of Niagara Falls? How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

Answer:

1) The power of Niagara Falls is 1.176 × 10⁹ W

2) The number of 15 W LED light bulbs it could power is 78.4 × 10⁶ light bulbs

Explanation:

1) The Niagara falls water mass flow rate = 2,400,000 kg/s

The height of the fall = 50 meters

The gravitational potential energy = Mass (kg) × height (m) × gravity (9.8 m/s²)

The power = The energy converted per second = Mass flow rate (kg/s) × height (m) × gravity (9.8 m/s²)

Therefore;

The power of Niagara Falls= 2,400,000 kg/s × 50 m ×9.8 m/s²= 1.176 × 10⁹ W

The power of Niagara Falls = 1.176 × 10⁹ W

2) The number, n, of 15 W LED light bulbs it could power is given by the relation;

n × 15 W = 1.176 × 10⁹ W

∴ n = 1.176 × 10⁹ W/(15 W) = 78.4 × 10⁶ light bulbs

The number of 15 W LED light bulbs it could power = 78.4 × 10⁶ light bulbs.

Classify each salt as acidic, basic, or neutral? -nh4cl -ca(no32
vichka [17]
The pH of salt depends on the component acid and base that comprise them. For example, if the salt is made up of strong acid and weak base then, the salt is acidic. If the salt is formed from strong base and weak acid then, the salt is basic. For this item, NH4Cl is acidic and also Ca(NO3)2 is acidic.

What are biotic and abiotic factors?

Biotic and abiotic are the two essential factors responsible for shaping the ecosystem. The biotic factors refer to all the living beings present in an ecosystem, and the abiotic factors refer to all the non-living components like physical conditions (temperature, pH, humidity, salinity, sunlight, etc.) and chemical agents (different gases and mineral nutrients present in the air, water, soil, etc.) in an ecosystem. Therefore, both the abiotic and biotic resources affect the survival and reproduction process.

Answer:

Abiotic factors in the tropical rainforest include humidity, soil composition, temperature, and sunlight. A limiting factor in the ecosystem is that canopy layers block sunlight from reaching the forest floor, causing shorter plants to not be able to grow. Biotic factors in the tropical rainforest include orchids, lilies, heliconia, and bromeliads. Tropical rainforests can have various fungi, shrubs, herbs, woody vines, lichens, and mosses. The trees making up the rainforest canopy include the tonka bean wood, teak, rubber, and several species of evergreens and palm trees. This way the organisms in the tropical rainforest both depend on biotic and abiotic factors.
