The highest recorded waterfall in the world is found at Angel Falls in Venezuela. Its longest single waterfall has a height of 807 m. If the water at the top of the falls is at . What is the maximum temperature of the water at the bottom of the falls? Assume all the kinetic energy of the water as it reaches the bottom goes into raising the water s temperature.

The total height of Yosemite Falls is 2425 ft.

A.) How many more joules of gravitational potential energy arethere for each kilogram of water at the top of this waterfallcompared with each kilogram of water at the foot of thefalls?

B.) Find the kinetic energy and speed of each kilogram of water asit reaches the base of the waterfall, assuming that there are nolosses due to friction with the air or rocks and that the mass ofwater had negligible vertical speed at the top.

C.) How fast (in m/s and mph) would a 73.0 kg person have to run tohave that much kinetic energy?

D.) How high would Yosemite Falls have to be so that each kilogramof water at the base had twice the kinetic energy you found in partB?

E.) How high would Yosemite Falls have to be so that each kilogramof water at the base had twice the speed you found in part B?

If someone could help me figure this out that would be awesome.Thank you :)

A chinook salmon has a maximum underwater speed of 3.58 m/s, but itcan jump out of water with a speed of 6.26 m/s. To move upstreampast a waterfall, the salmon does not need to jump to the top ofthe fall, but only to a point in the fall where the water speed isless than 3.58 m/s; it can then swim up the fall for the remainingdistance. Because the salmon must make forward progress in thewater, let's assume it can swim to the top if the water speed is3.00 m/s. If water has a speed of 1.50 m/s as it passes over aledge, how far below the ledge will the water be moving with aspeed of 3.00 m/s? (Note that water undergoes projectile motiononce it leaves the ledge.) If the salmon is able to jump verticallyupward from the base of the fall, what is the maximum height ofwaterfall that the salmon can clear?
