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.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan is 83.516 J/molK.

Explanation:

Entropy :It is defined as amount of energy which is unable to do work or the measurement of randomness or disorderedness in a system.

S=\frac{Q}{T(Kelvins)}

Molar heat of molar vaporization of Trichlorofluoromethane = 24.8 kJ/mol

Temperature at which Trichlorofluoromethan boils , T= 296.95 K

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan :

=\frac{24.8 kJ/mol}{296.95 K}=0.083516 kJ/mol K = 83.516 J/molK

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan is 83.516 J/molK.

Air is composed of nitrogen oxygen and based on that information air can be described as
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Air can be described as:  Mass and Mixture of Gases

Mass is defined as how much stuff an object contains - and by stuff, I mean matter, like atoms and molecules. And even though you can't see it, air has a lot of atoms and molecules. Air is a gas (as opposed to a liquid or a solid) and contains about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% argon.
