A waterfall is 1260m high. Calculate the change in temperature of a quantity of water that falls from the top to the bottom of the waterfall. (Neglect heat losses to the surroundings, take g as 10m-2 and specific heat capacity of water as 4200Jkg-1K-1)
A 90-W immersion heater is used to supply energy for five minutes. The energy supplied is used to completely melt 180g of a solid at is melting point. Neglecting energy losses to the surroundings, calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of the solid
