Will water at the foot of a fall be at different temperature from that at the top ? If yes, explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy at the foot of the fall. So, the velocity of water at the foot of the fall is maximum. Now the velocity is suddenly reduced to zero and is converted to heat energy. Hence, the temperature rises.
