How long does it take for 3000000 gallons of water to flow over niagara falls?

The amount of time it takes for 3,000,000 gallons of water to flow over Niagara Falls depends on the time of year. During the high flow season, 6 million cubic feet flows over the Falls every minute on average. During low flow season, about 4 million

The height of Seven falls in Colorado is 5 over 2 the height in feet of Twin Falls in Idaho the sum of the heights is 420 ft find the height of each?

What we're going to do is find out the height of Twin Falls.

We know that Seven Falls (x) is 5/2 as much as Twin Falls. So, bearing that in mind, we turn it into an equation which reads as:

x + 5/2x = 420

(Twin Falls plus 5/2 the amount of Twin Falls equals Four Hundred Twenty.)

We must combine like-variables. But with the fraction involved, first find the common denominator and multiply it by all sides. In this circumstance, the denominator is two.

2(x + 5/2x) = 2(420)

(Distributive property is simpler and quicker.)

2x + 5x = 840

(After multiplying 5/2 by 2/1. The twos cancel each other out, leaving us with 5/1.)

Combine like variables.

7x = 840

Divide both sides by seven, leaving us with:

x= 120

120ft is the height for Twin Falls. Now we must find the height for Seven Falls, which is 5/2 times more than Twin Falls.

120/1 x 5/2 = 300/1

(By cross-multiplying, we determine that two goes into 120 sixty times. Sixty times 5 is 300.)

So we have the height for both Twin Falls(120ft) and Seven Falls(300ft).

Check:

The sum of the heights is 420ft.

120 + 300 = 420.

The Olson Memorial Park waterfall was a replica of what waterfall?

Brief History of Olson Rug Co. Olsonrug.com Olson Rug Co. was established in 1874. The manufacturing mill was located in Chicago at Diversey Ave. and Pulaski Road. During the War era, when raw material was scarce, people would send in their old wool rugs, rags, clothing etc. and Olson Rug would turn them into beautiful area rugs. The family-owned business was "the place" to buy rugs for many years. Alongside the factory was the renowned Olson Memorial Park. Walter E. Olson built the 22 acre park in 1935. The project took nearly six months to complete. About 800 tons of stone and 800 yards of soil were used for its construction. Approximately 3,500 perennials were planted, along with numerous species of junipers, spruces, pines, arbor-vitaes and annuals. The park consisted of a stunning rock garden, duck pond and 35-foot waterfall. Olson Park became a popular spot for family outings. During the first Sunday after its dedication, Olson Park attracted as many as 600 visitors per hour. In 1965, Olson Rug sold its building to Marshall Fields. In the 1970's the waterfall was turned off and the park dismantled to make room for a parking lot. Today Olson Rug Co. is a 17-store Chicago based chain whose main business is retail residential floor coverings. Olson Rug sells a wide variety of carpet, area rugs, wood and laminate floors, ceramic tile and vinyl. It was a replica of a waterfall at the Wisconsin vacation home of Mr. Olson. I didn't learn this until years after the park was razed. (My dad used to take us to the park to climb the falls several times a year, and always for the Injun Summer display.) In one of the patient lounge areas funded by the Olson family in Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, there was (maybe still is?) a tapestry of the original waterfall with a plaque explaining the connection.

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.
