The highest recorded waterfall in the world is found at Angel Falls in Venezuela. Its longest single waterfall has a height of 807 m. If water at the top of the falls is at 14.2°C, what is the maximum temperature of the water at the bottom of the falls? Assume all the kinetic energy of the water as it reaches the bottom goes into raising the water's temperature.

The highest waterfall in the world is the Salto Angel Falls in
Venezuela. Its longest fall has a height of 807 meters. If water at
the top of the falls is at rest and at 15°C, what is the maximum
temperature of the water at the bottom of the falls? Assume all the
kinetic energy of the water as it reaches the bottom goes into
raising its temperature. The specific heat capacity for water is
4186 J/kg°C.

Kerepakupai Vena in Venezuela, more commonly known as Angel Falls, is the world's highest waterfall with a height of 979 m and 47 different plunges. The longest plunge (for the water) is 807 m. At the bottom of the fall, the kinetic energy of the water is converted into thermal energy. This results in a temperature increase of the water. If the water has a temperature of 17.1°C when it gets to the bottom of the plunge, what was the...
Water going over Iguacu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil drops through a height of about 72 {\rm m}. Suppose that all the gravitational potential energy of the water goes into raising its temperature Find the increase in water temperature at the bottom of the falls as compared with the top.
What is the maximum possible increase in the temperature of water from if it falls from the top of a 36 m high waterfall to the bottom? (Assume that all its potential energy is used up in heating the drop.)
