Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, and the average height of the falls is about 50 m. Knowing that the gravitational potential energy of falling water per second = mass (kg) × height (m) × gravity (9.8 m/s2), what is the power of Niagara Falls? How many 15 W LED light bulbs could it power?

Power,

No of bulbs = 78400000

Explanation:

We have,

Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, it mean it is mass per unit time i.e. m/t.

It falls from a height of 50 m

The gravitational potential energy of falling water is given by :

P = mgh

Power is equal to the work done divided by time taken. So,

So,

Let there are n bulbs that could power 15 W LED. It can be calculated by dividing the power by 15. So,

It means that the number of bulbs are 78400000.
