A waterfall is 630cm high. What is the change in temperature of a quantity of water that falls from the top to the bottom of the waterfall? (Neglect heat losses to the surroundings, take g as 10 ms-2 and specific heat capacity of weather as 4200J kg-1K-1

A.

0.15°C

B.

1.50°C

C.

15.00°C

D.

21.00 °C

E.

50.00°C

Correct answer is B

water height as 630cm, gravity = 10m/s\(^2\),   specific heat capacity of weather as 4200J 

Temperature change = \(\frac{gh}{c}\) = \(\frac{630*10}{4200}\)

= 1.5C
