प्रश्न
In what way does the temperature of water at the bottom of a waterfall differ from the temperature at the top? Explain the reason.
उत्तर
When water falls from a height, the potential energy stored in water at a height changes into the kinetic energy of water during the fall. On striking the ground, a part of the kinetic energy of water changes into the heat energy due to which the temperature of water rises.
