Answer:

so its 0.098*C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m gram be the mass of water.

Then potential energy of water is:

P.E.=mgh

=m×980×8400

Since potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

P.E.=K.E.

K.E.=m×980×8400

Half of kinetic energy is converted into heat.

Then heat energy:

Heat energy=

2

1

×m×980×8400

Convert joule into calories

heat=

4.2×10

7

m×980×4200

=m×0.098

But heat is:

Heat=msΔT

∴msΔT=m×0.098

m×1×ΔT=m×0.098

ΔT=0.098C

Rise in temperature of water is =0.098

C .
