What happens to the gravitational potential energy when water at the top of a waterfall falls to the pool below?
becomes kinetic energy
Where does the water in a waterfall have the most gravitational potential energy?
The water above receives energy as it falls down the short waterfall. This energy was stored as potential energy in the gravitational field of the Earth and came out of storage as the water dropped. This energy which came out of the gravitational field ended up being expressed as the kinetic energy of the water. That is, the water gains kinetic energy as it drops. An ounce of water is going faster when it hits the bottom of the waterfall than it was when it went over the top of the waterfall.
What happens in a periscope?
The top of the periscope has a prism that reflects the light to the observers prism. The object the top prism is pointed at is seen at the bottom one.
When you cover the top half of an object what happens to the image formed by a convex lens?
You see the bottom half of the object, and whatever you covered the top half with.
What is the origin of upthrust in fluid?
The difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the object.
Explain how water at the bottom of a waterfall has both potential energy and kinetic energy?
The water at the bottom of the waterfall has lost some potential energy in falling the height of the fall, but it has gained kinetic energy because it is moving faster than it was at the top. For a free flowing waterfall, ie one which has not had water diverted into a hydro power turbine on the way from top to bottom, the total energy ie potential and kinetic must be the same at the bottom as at the top.
Is a waterfall a example of kinetic energy?
It is an example of conversion of potential energy (at the top) into kinetic energy (at the bottom).
What is different between the top and bottom side of an earthworm?
how can you distinguish between the top and bottom side of an earthworm
Where do you get a dratini in Pokemon platinum?
You can get a Dratini in the cave with a waterfall in Mount Coronet. Dratini is at the top part of the waterfall in the middle. i cought mine at the bottom of the falls on the edge, u need a super rod to do it
What happens to the gravitational potential energy when water at the top of a waterfall falls to the pool below?
becomes kinetic energy
Is there any difference between the water at the top of the waterfall and the water at the base?
Simple, It will be more oxygenated.
What happens to the amount of biomass from the bottom to the top of the pyramid?
it decreases.
What is the difference between top and bottom in lesbian relationships?
the top is the giver while the bottom is the receiver
What happens to the atomic size from the top of the periodic table to the bottom?
The atomic size increase from top to bottom of Periodic Table. As the number of shells increases from top to bottom, the atomic size increases.
What happens to the atomic size from the top to the bottom of the periodic table?
The atomic size increase from top to bottom of periodic table. As the number of shells increases from top to bottom, the atomic size increases.
What happens to the atomic radius as you go down the metals What happens to the reactivity?
Examples for the groups I an II of the periodic table:- the atomic radius grows from top to bottom- the electronegativity descends from top to bottom
What happens to the atomic number from top to bottom in a column?
The atomic number at the top is always less than the atomic number at the bottom of the column
