If \(60 \%\) of the kinetic energy of water falling from \(210 \mathrm{~m}\) high water fall is converted into heat. The raise in temperature of water at the bottom of the falls is nearly (specific heat of water \(=4.2 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\))

  1. A \(0.6^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(0.3^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(1.2 \mathrm{~K}\)
  4. D \(2.4 \mathrm{~K}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.3^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(h=210 \mathrm{~m}\) Specific heat of water, \(c=4.2 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) When water falls on the surface of earth, then its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. \(\therefore\) Kinetic energy \(=\) Potential energy…
