Step 1: Find energy generated by water during fall:
Energy generated = change in potential energy
Q = m*g*h
Now same energy is used in increasing temperature of water, So we know that:
Q = m*C*dT
So,
m*g*h = m*C*dT
h = height of waterfall = 36 m
C = specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/kg.C
So,
dT = g*h/C
dT = 9.81*36/4186
dT = max temperature increase of water = 0.0844 C
Let me know if you've any query.

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...

(c) Consider a 135 meter high waterfall. If the decrease in potential energy of the water (i.e., mgh) is totally converted into heat, calculate the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the waterfall. Data: m-mass, g - acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s. The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/(8 °C).

James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than the water at the top, 51 m above the bottom. He reasoned that the falling water would transform its gravitational potential energy at the top into thermal energy at the bottom, where turbulence brings the water almost to a halt.. If this transformation is the only process occurring, how much warmer will the water at the...

One cubic meter of water (see Table 4.4 for the mass density of water) flowing over the Lower Falls in Yellowstone National Park drops 94 m. If all of the water's potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom of the falls and the kinetic energy goes to heat the water, what is the temperature increase of the water?

An object that falls from the roof of a building starts with potential energy that becomes kinetic energy as the object falls. When the object strikes the ground, some of the kinetic energy is dissipated into the atomic-level motion of the particles that make up the object, and its temperature increases. If a 1.10 kg piece of iron fell from the roof of a building that was 24.0 m tall, what is the maximum temperature change (in °C) that it...

A 50-gallon electric water heater is used to heat tap water with an initial temperature of 15oC. The heating level is set at a maximum while several people are taking their showers. If the maximum heating level of the heater is 7.5kW of electricity and the water use rate is 3 gal/min, what is the temperature of the water exiting the heater? Assume that the system is at steady state and the heater is 100% efficient; that is it is...
