At Niagara Falls, if 505 kg of water falls a distance of 50.0 m, what is the increase in internal energy of the water at the bottom of the falls? Assume that all of the initial potential energy goes into increasing the water’sinternal energy and that the final kinetic energy is zero.
Is it impossible to convert the heat from a single source into work without any other effect? How?
-What is the change in internal energy of a system which does 3.5 x 10^5 J of work while 3.00×10^6 J of heat transfer occurs into the system, and 8.00×10^6 J of heat transfer occurs to the environment?

- Is there more than one method of heat transfer? If so, then how are they similar and different than one another?arrow_forwardA pronghorn antelope can run at a remarkable 18 m/s for up to 10 minutes, almost triple the speed that an elite human runner can maintain. For a 32 kg pronghorn, this requires an astonishing 3.4 kW of metabolic power, which leads to a significant increase in body temperature. If the pronghorn had no way to exhaust heat to the environment, by how much would its body temperature increase during this run? (In fact, it will lose some heat, so the rise won’t be this dramatic, but it will be quite noticeable, requiring adaptations that keep the pronghorn’s brain cooler than its body in suchcircumstances.)arrow_forwardOn a certain dry sunny day, a swimming pool 's temperature would rise by 1.50 if not for evaporation. What fraction of the water must evaporate to carry away precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant?arrow_forward
