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.

Answer: a) Observation

b) observation

c) observation

d) observation

e) inference

f) inference

g) inference

h) inference

Explanation:

observation: The photosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium,The photosphere emits mostly visible light,The corona is hotter than the photosphere, The Sun emits neurtrinos

inferences: The Sun generates energy by fusing hydrogen into helium,The core temperature is 10 million k, The convection zone is cooler than the radiation zone,The composition of the photosphere is the same as that the gas cloud that have birth to our solar system.

An object is 12 m long, 0.65 m wide, and 13 cm high. Calculate the volume of this object.
ziro4ka [17]

The volume corresponds to the measure of the space occupied by a body. From the given dimensions we can intuit that we are looking to find the Volume of an Cuboid, that is, an orthogonal rectangular prism, whose faces form straight dihedral angles.

Mathematically the volume of this body is given as

V = lWh

Where,

L = Length

W = Width

H = High

V = (12)(0.65)(13*10^{-2})

V = 1.014m^3

Note: The value given for the height was in centimeters, so it was transformed to meters.

Distinguish between atoms and molecules,
Lisa [10]
An atom is the smallest particle of an element which can take part in a chemical reaction

A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that can normally exist alone and still retain the chemical properties of that substance, Be it an element or a compound.

Isotopic mass is the mass of an isotope of an element

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom.The relative atomic mass,A of an element is the number of times the average mass of one atom of that element is heavier than one-twelfth the mass of one atom of carbon-12

Molecular mass is the mass of a given molecule. The relative molecular mass,M, of an element or a compound is the number of times the average mass of one molecule of it is heavier than one-twelfth the mass of one atom of carbon-12

One mole of a substance is the amount containing as many elementary entities as the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of Carbon-12 .

The molar mass of any substance is the mass of one mole of that substance expressed in grams
