The height of Niagara Falls on the American side is 51 m.
(a) Calculate the potential energy of 1.0 g of water at the top of the falls relative to the ground level.
Hint: The work done in ascending is given by mgh, where m is the mass (in kg), g is the gravitational
acceleration (9.8 m/s² ), and h is the height (in meters).
(b) What is the speed of the falling water if all the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy?
m/s
(c) What would be the increase in temperature of the water if all the kinetic energy were converted to
heat?
°C
