Question

Water flows over Victoria Falls, which is 128 m high, at a rate of 1.4 x 106 kg/s. If half the potential energy of this water were converted into electric energy, how much electric power would be produced by these falls?

Answer 1

(1/2)(mass flow rate)*(K.E. per mass at impact)
= (1/2)*(mass flow rate)*V^2/2
= (1/4)*(mass flow rate)*g*H

Answer 2

is the answer 439040000W ?
