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.

you know that there are 1609 meter in a mile. the number of feet in a mile is 5280. what is the speed snail from problem 7 per m
Zanzabum

Answer:

We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters, and 1 foot = 12 inches.

So  (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter)  =  (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

The second fraction on each side of the equation is equal to ' 1 ', because

the numerator is equal to the denominator, so sticking it in there doesn't

change the value of that side of the equation.  But now we can cancel some

units,and wind up with the units we need.

  (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter)  =  (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

        (1,609 x100) centimeters  =  (5,280 x 12) inches

            160,900 centimeters  =  63,360 inches

Divide each side by  63,360 :        2.54 centimeters =  1 inch

Two spectators at a soccer game in Montjuic Stadium see, and a moment later hear, the ball being kicked on the playing field. Th
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

a) The distance of spectator A to the player is 79.2 m

b) The distance of spectator B to the player is 43.9 m

c) The distance between the two spectators is 90.6 m

Explanation:

a) Knowing the time it takes the sound to reach both spectators, we can calculate their position relative to the player, using this equation:

x = v * t

where:

x = position of the spectators

v = speed of sound

t = time

Then, the position for spectator A relative to the player is:

x = 343 m/s * 0.231 s = 79.2 m

b)For spectator B:

x = 343 m/s * 0.128 s

x = 43.9 m

The distance of spectator A and B to the player is 79.2 m and 43.9 m respectively.

c) To calculate the distance between the spectators, please see the attached figure. Notice that the distance between the spectators is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the sightline of both. We already know the longitude of the two sides. Then, using Pythagoras theorem:

(Distance AB)² = A² + B²

(Distance AB)² = (79.2 m)² + (43.9 m)²

Distance AB = 90. 6 m

Trey races his bicycle for 192m. A wheel of his bicycle turns 48 times as the bicycle travels this distance. What is the diamete
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1.27 m

Explanation:

Distance = 192 m

number of rotations = 48

Distance traveled in one rotation = 2 x π x r

Where, r be the radius of wheel.

so, distance traveled in 48 rotations = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r

It is equal to the distance traveled.

192 = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r

r = 0.637 m

diameter of wheel = 2 x radius of wheel = 2 x 0.637 = 1.27 m

A proton and an electron are both accelerated to the same final speed. If λp s the de Broglie wavelength of the proton and e is
meriva

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between the de Broglie wavelength and the momentum of the particle is given by

\lambda =\frac{h}{m\times v}

where, m is the mas of the particle and v be the velocity of the particle and h be the Plank's constant.  

So, the de broglie wavelength of proton is given by

\lambda _{p}=\frac{h}{m_{p}\times v} .... (1)

The de broglie wavelength of electron is given by

\lambda _{e}=\frac{h}{m_{e}\times v} .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

\frac{\lambda _{e}}{\lambda _{p}}=\frac{m_{p}}{m_{e}}

As the mass of proton is much more than the mass of electron, so the de broglie wavelength of electron is more than the de Broglie wavelength of proton.

Which of the following is a pure substance?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

In a scientific context, “pure” denotes a single type of material. Ostensibly, compounds contain more than one type of material. Yet both compounds and elements are considered pure substances. Pure compounds are created when elements combine permanently, forming one substance.
