The water at Niagara Falls drops through a height of 55.0 m. If the water’s loss of gravitational potential energy shows up as a

n increase in temperature of the water, what is the temperature difference between the water at the top of the falls and the water at the bottom? For this problem, if you need any of these values, use g = 10 m/s^2, take the specific heat of water to be 4000 J/(kg °C), and the latent heat of vaporization of water to be 2 × 10^6 J/kg.__________.

Answer:

ΔT = 0.14 °C

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the water can be calculated using the following expression.

Ep = m . g . h

where,

m: mass

g: gravity

h: height

The heat used to increase the temperature of the water can be calculated using the following expression.

Q = c . m . ΔT

where,

c: specific heat capacity

m: mass

ΔT: difference in temperature

According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy lost from gravitational potential energy is equal to the heat gained by the water. Then,

Ep = Q

m . g . h = c . m . ΔT

g . h = c . ΔT

(10 m/s²) × (55.0 m) = (4000 J/kg°C) × ΔT

ΔT = 0.14 °C

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Mutual inductance, M=2.28\times 10^{-5}\ H

Explanation:

(a) A toroidal solenoid with mean radius r and cross-sectional area A is wound uniformly with N₁ turns. A second thyroidal solenoid with N₂ turns is wound uniformly on top of the first, so that the two solenoids have the same cross-sectional area and mean radius.

Mutual inductance is given by :

M=\dfrac{\mu_oN_1N_2A}{2\pi r}

(b) It is given that,

N_1=550

N_2=290

Radius, r = 10.6 cm = 0.106 m

Area of toroid, A=0.76\ cm^2=7.6\times 10^{-5}\ m^2

Mutual inductance, M=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 550\times 290\times 7.6\times 10^{-5}}{2\pi \times 0.106}

M=0.0000228\ H

or

M=2.28\times 10^{-5}\ H

So, the value of mutual inductance of the toroidal solenoid is 2.28\times 10^{-5}\ H. Hence, this is the required solution.
