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

Four +2 μC charges are placed at the positions (10 cm, 0 cm), (−10 cm, 0 cm), (0 cm, 10 cm), and (0 cm, −10 cm) such that they f
mylen [45]

Answer:

The force will be zero

Explanation:

Due to the symmetric location of the +2μC charges the forces the excert over the +5μC charge will cancel each other resulting in a net force with a magnitude of zero.However in this case it would be an unstable equilibrium, very vulnerable to a kind of bucking. If the central charge is not perfectly centered on the vertical axis the forces will have components in that axis that will add together instead of canceling each other.

HELP!! ALL MY POINTS WILL BE GIVEN
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

-6 m/s^2

Explanation:

30 - 90 = -60

-60 / 10 = -6

If acceleration was constant, it will be -6 m/s^2

At constant volume, the heat of combustion of a particular compound is − 3550.0 kJ / mol. When 1.075 g of this compound ( molar
swat32

Answer:

C=1,25\cdot 10^{5} kJ/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all let's define the specific molar heat capacity.

C = \frac{-Q}{n\cdot \Delta T} (1)

Where:

Q is the released heat by the system

n is the number of moles

ΔT is the difference of temperature of the system  

Now, we can find n with the molar mass (M) the mass of the compound (m).

n=\frac{m}{M}=6.95\cdot 10^{-3} moles      

Using (1) we have:

C=\frac{-3550}{6.95\cdot 10^{-3} 4.073}

C=1,25\cdot 10^{5} kJ/^{\circ}C

I hope it helps!

If a 60-watt bulb is used to light a room, how much current is flowing through the bulb given that the voltage is 120 volts?
Pavel [41]
 Well, if I understand correctly, I think it'd be 60, because 60+60= 120, but I may be wrong. It's not my best subject, but why not try to help even though I suck lol.
