In this question, a statement of assertion
is followed by a statement of reason
. Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: Water at the foot of the water fall is always at different temperature from that at the top.
Reason: The potential energy of water at the top is converted into heat energy during falling.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
When the water is at the top of the fall it has potential energy
(when
is the mass of the
water and h is the height of the fall). On falling this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which further converted into heat energy and so temperature of water increases.
