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.

A rock is dropped off a cliff and falls the first half of the distance to the ground in 2.0 seconds. how long will it take to fa
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is 0.83 seconds.

Explanation:

The formula of free fall is following:

h=1/2*g*t^2

Where g=9.8 m/s^2 and t=2 seconds, the rock takes:

h=1/2*9.8*2^2=19.6

19.6 meters. This is the half distance of the cliff. The whole distance is 39.2 meters. So it takes:

39.2=1/2*9.8*t^2\\t^2=8\\t=2.83

2.83 second to fall down completely. The rock takes the second half of the cliff in 0.83 seconds

What can you say about the magnitudes of the forces that the balloons exert on each other?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2} gravitational force

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2} electrostatic force

Explanation:

The forces that balloons may exert on each other can be gravitational pull due to the mass of the balloon membrane and the mass of the gas contained in each. This force is inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance between their center of masses.

The Mutual force of gravitational pull that they exert on each other can be given as:

F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2}

where:

G= gravitational constant  =6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}

m_1\ \&\ m_2 are the masses of individual balloons

R= the radial distance between the  center of masses of the balloons.

But when  there are charges on the balloons, the electrostatic force comes into act which is governed by Coulomb's law.

Given as:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2}

where:

\rm \epsilon_0= permittivity\ of\ free\ space

q_1\ \&\ q_2 are the charges on the individual balloons

R = radial distance between the charges.

A wire loop with 70 turns is formed into a square with sides of length ???? . The loop is in the presence of a 1.20 T uniform ma
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

l= 3.002 cm

Explanation:

Given that

n= 70 turns

B= 1.2 T

θ= 15°

I= 1.5 A

τ = 0.0294 N⋅m

Lets take length of sides is l.

We know that

τ  = n I A B sin θ

Area of square ,A= l²

Now by putting the value

τ  = n I A B sin θ

0.0294  = 70 x  1.5 x  l² x  1.2 x  sin 15°

l² = 0.000901 m²

l² = 9.01 cm²

l= 3.002 cm
