Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy: Problem 123
A river descends 15 m through rapids. The speed of the water is 3.2 m/s upon entering the rapids and 13 m/s upon leaving. What percentage of the gravitational potential energy of the waterβEarth system is transferred to kinetic energy during the descent? (Hint: Consider the descent of, say, 10 kg of water.)
π Solution Approach
Given: 15 m, 3.2 m, 13 m, 10 kg
