Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, and the average height of the falls is about 50 m. Knowing that the gravitational potential energy of falling water per second = mass (kg) × height (m) × gravity (9.8 m/s2), what is the power of Niagara Falls? How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

Power,

No of bulbs = 78400000

Explanation:

We have,

Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, it mean it is mass per unit time i.e. m/t.

It falls from a height of 50 m

The gravitational potential energy of falling water is given by :

P = mgh

Power is equal to the work done divided by time taken. So,

So,

Let there are n bulbs that could power 15 W LED. It can be calculated by dividing the power by 15. So,

It means that the number of bulbs are 78400000.

it should have an internal chamber and two thermometers sticking out of the top. the internal chamber will also be closed off from the outside.
