A water fall is 420m high. Calculate the difference in temperature of the water between the top and bottom of the water fall. Neglect heat loses(g = 10.0m-2 specific heat capacity of water = 4.20 x 10-3 JKg-1 K-1)
A
0.1oC
B
1.0oC
C
42oC
D
100oC
correct option: b
Potential Energy = Heat Energy

mgh = Mc\(\Delta \theta = \frac{gh}{c} = \frac{10 \times 240}{4.20 \times 10^3}\)

= 1.0oC
