James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than

the water at the top, 51 m above the bottom. He reasoned that the falling water would transform its gravitational potential energy at the top into thermal energy at the bottom, where turbulence brings the water almost to a halt.. If this transformation is the only process occurring, how much warmer will the water at the bottom be? The specific heat of water is 4190 J/(kg?K).

Answer:

0.12 K

Explanation:

height, h = 51 m

let the mass of water is m.

Specific heat of water, c = 4190 J/kg K

According to the transformation of energy

Potential energy of water = thermal energy of water

m x g x h = m x c x ΔT

Where, ΔT is the rise in temperature

g x h =  c x ΔT

9.8 x 51 = 4190 x ΔT

ΔT = 0.12 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 0.12 K.

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 6.0 rev/s in 11.0 s. At th
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer

given,

ω₁ = 0 rev/s

ω₂ = 6 rev/s

t = 11 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  11 α = 6 - 0

      = 0.545 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₁= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₁= 0 + (1/2) (0.545)(11)^2

  θ₁= 33 rev

case 2

ω₁ = 6 rev/s

ω₂ = 0 rev/s

t = 14 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  14 α = 0 - 6

        = - 0.428 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₂= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₂= 6 x 14 + (1/2) (-0.428)(14)^2

  θ₂= 42 rev

total revolution in 25 s is equal to

θ =  θ₁ +  θ₂

θ =  33 + 42

θ = 75 rev

What is the focal length (in meters) of a lens whose radius of curvature is 9. 2 m and has a refractive index 1. 2?
Fed [463]

The focal length (in meters) of a lens whose radius of curvature is 9. 2 m and has a refractive index  1.2 will be 18.4 m

The focal length of a lens is determined when the lens is focused at infinity. Lens focal length tells us the angle of view—how much of the scene will be captured—and the magnification—how large individual elements will be.

Focal length of a lens is the distance between center of lens and focal point . Focal point is a point on principal axis , at which light rays parallel to principal axis meet after refraction through lens or seem to meet after refraction .

The radius of curvature is the radius of sphere formed by the convex or concave mirror. It is also equal to the distance between the pole and center of curvature. The sign convention for focal length and radius of curvature is the same.

focal length = 2 * radius of curvature

given

radius of curvature = 9.2 m

focal length = 2 * 9.2

                    = 18.4 m
