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 box of paper is labeled 24lb paper. This means that 500 sheets (counted number) of paper size 17in x 22in weighs 24 pounds (Th
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The mass of a single paper  is approximately 0.047 lb/paper which in SI Units is approximately 21.77  g/paper

Explanation:

The given information on the size and the weight of paper are;

The mass of a box of 500 sheets of paper = 24 lb

The number of sheets in the paper = 500 sheets

The dimensions of the paper = 17 in. × 22 in., which is equivalent to  43.18 cm × 55.88 cm

The mass of a single paper = The mass of the box of paper/(The number of sheets of paper present in the box)

The mass of a single paper = 24 lb/500 = 0.047 lb/paper

Given that 1 lb = 453.6 g, we have;

0.047 lb/paper = 0.047 lb/paper×453.6 g/(lb) = 21.77  g/paper

The mass of a single paper  = 0.047 lb/paper = 21.77  g/paper.
