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

What do scientitsts do to easily share mesurment data they can understand
Leona [35]
There are a few ways to do this- unfortunately different fields are better at it than others! Medical research is generally pretty good, some other fields likewise very good, some not as much. Basically, though, what they do is use standadisation- they agree on the terminology, units of data, statistical measures, and so forth, that will be used in that scientific field. As much as possible, every scientist in the field uses those standards so everyone working in the field should recognise it. For instance, in clinical trials, there is very good agreement worldwide on what the different metrics we use are- e.g. in cancer research, we usually want to know the 5-year survival rate (meaning the percentage of patients still alive 5 years after diagnosis). So anyone with the right training should be able to pick up a clinical trial report and understand what the results are and what the report is saying.

A student claims that any object in motion must experience a force that keeps it in motion. Do you agree or disagree? Please exp
Tanya [424]

Answer:

i agree

Explanation:

because it is in motion sooo it has a force of course

if it doesn't experience emotional Force it will stop being in motion

The displacement of a moving object in given interval of time is zero . Would the distance travelled by the object also be zero.
kirill [66]





Hi Pupil Here's Your answer ::




➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡



No, on a circle in going from one point around circular path the displacement is zero but the distance covered is equal to the circumference of the circle.

i.e.


2\pi r

Choose the definition of: Kinesics
pav-90 [236]
<span>Kinesics is the study of the interpretation body motion communication such as facial expressions and gestures.   It does not include the verbal communication because you can communicate through words. Kinesics is a nonverbal communication that does not involve words. Example of this is when you are in a different country in which you do not know how to speak their native language. To understand their feelings, you don’t listen to their words but you observe their actions and facial structure when communicating. So the answer is letter A.</span>
