While painting the top of an antenna 225 m in height, a worker accidentally lets a 1.00‐l water bottle fall from his lunchbox. the bottle lands in some bushes at ground level and does not break. if a quantity of heat equal to the magnitude of the change in mechanical energy of the water goes into the water, what is its increase in temperature?

Increase in temperature of water = 0.53 °C

Explanation:

Change in mechanical energy = Potential energy

Potential energy = mgh

Mass, m = Mass of 1 L water = 1 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Height, h = 225 m

Potential energy = 1 x 9.81 x 225 = 2207.25 J

Because of this 2207.25 J water gets heated.

Heat energy, E = mcΔT

Mass, m = Mass of 1 L water = 1 kg

Specific heat of water, c = 4200 J/kg/C

Energy, E = 2207.25 J

Change in temperature, ΔT = ?

Substituting

         2207.25 = 1 x 4200 x ΔT

           ΔT = 0.53 °C

          Increase in temperature of water = 0.53 °C

the answer is a. the yacht traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

im doing peak rn so sry if its wrong

not moving. pos accel,
