Question
There is a slight temperature difference between the water fall at the top and the bottom. Why?
✓
Answer
The potential energy of water at the top of the fall gets converted into heat kinetic energy at the bottom of the fall. When water hits the ground, a part of its kinetic energy gets converted into heat which increases its temperature slightly.
