Assuming that all the energy of the water is converted to heat, calculate the temperature rise of the water in degrees Celsius after falling over California'a Yosemite Falls, a distance of 739 m. Potential energy of the water at the top of the falls is equal to mass of the water times the acceleration due to gravity times the height. 1 kg m2/s2 is equal to _____ Joule. Assume 1.00 kg of water falling over Yosemite. The change in potential energy for the fall is _______ J. The amount of heat energy generated by the fall is _______ J. The change in temperature of the water as a result of the heat generated is ______ deg C (3 S.F.).

A satellite in a circular orbit around the earth with a radius 1.019 times the mean radius of the earth is hit by an incoming meteorite. A large fragment (m = 95.0 kg) is ejected in the backwards direction so that it is stationary with respect to the earth and falls directly to the ground. Its speed just before it hits the ground is 375.0 m/s. (1)  Find the total work done by gravity on the satellite fragment. RE 6.37·103 km;...

Consider a poor lost soul walking at 5 km/h on a hot day in the desert, wearing only a bathing suit. This person's skin temperature tends to rise due to four mechanisms: (i) energy is generated by metabolic reactions in the body at a rate of 260 W , and almost all of this energy is converted to heat that flows to the skin; (ii) heat is delivered to the skin by convection from the outside air at a rate...

A water drop slung onto a skillet with a temperature between 100°C and 200°C will remain a liquid for about 1 second. However, if the skillet is much hotter the drop can last several minutes. This is due to the Leidenfrost Effect, named after an early investigator (circa 1756). The longer lifetime is due to the support of a thin layer of air and water vapor that separates the drop from the metal (by a distance L, as shown in...
