Water flows over the edge of a waterfall at a rate of 1.2 x 10^6 kg/s. there are 50.0 m between the top and bottom of the waterfall. how much power is generated by the falling water by the time it reaches bottom?

5.88×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Power = change in energy / time

P = mgh / t

P = (m/t) gh

P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)

P = 5.88×10⁸ W

The power generated is about Watt when the waterfall from the waterfall and reaches the bottom.

Explanation:

As per given question, the rate of water is

From height (h) of 50m and acceleration due to gravity is 9.8

we know that Potential Energy,

The potential energy of (m) water for one second is written as

But power output of 1 Watt = 1 Joule / second. So the power generated in the waterfall is  or we can also write as 588 Mega Watts.

d. air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
