Question
The highest registered waterfalls in the world are those of Angel Falls, which is located in Venezuela. Its longest single waterfall has a height of 807 m. If the water at the top of the falls is 18.0 ° C, what is the maximum temperature (in degrees C) of the water at the bottom? Suppose that when all the kinetic energy of the water reaches the bottom, the temperature of the water increases.

- While swimming, conduction can play a big role in heat loss from the body. The body of one swimmer has a total surface area of 1.80 m2 and an average thickness of 1.60 mm. The skin's thermal conductivity is 0.370 W/m-K. If the water's temperature is 20.0°C, and the blood reaching the inner surface of the skin is at 37.0°C, what is the rate of energy loss for that person through conduction?arrow_forwardTwo cylindrical rods have the same mass. One is made of silver (density = 10 500 kg/m³), and one is made of iron (density = 7860 kg/m³). Both rods conduct the same amount of heat per second when the same temperature difference is maintained across their ends. What is the ratio (silver-to-iron) of (a) the lengths and (b) the radii of these rods? Give your answers as numbers with no units. (a) Number i (b) Number Units Unitsarrow_forwardIf you lie on the ground at night with no cover, you get cold rather quickly. Much of this is due to energy loss by radiation. At night in a dry climate, the temperature of the sky can drop to -40◦F. If you are lying on the ground with thin clothing that provides little insulation, the surface temperature of your skin and clothes will be about 86 ◦F. Estimate the net rate at which your body loses energy by radiation to the night sky under these conditions.arrow_forward
