Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s at a rate of 570 m³/s at a location 90 m above the lake surface. Determine the total mechanical energy of the river water per unit mass and the power generation potential of the entire river at that location. We take the density of water to be p = 1000 kg/m3. The total mechanical energy of the river water per unit mass is kJ/kg.

In a science lab, students determined how the mass of a cart affects its gravitational potential energy and its kinetic energy as it rolls down a ramp. One of the students held the small cart at the top of the ramp and released it to roll down the ramp. The cart’s mass is 150 g. The students ran the experiment three times. In the second round, they added a mass of 30 g to the cart. In the third round, 50 more grams were added to the weight of the cart for a total of 80 grams of mass added to the cart. The students gathered the data recorded in the table. Describe how the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy of the cart change as the cart rolls down the ramp in simple terms
A river flowing steadily at a rate of 125 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam can be built to collect water and release it from an elevation difference of 70 m to generate power. Determine how much power can be generated from this river water after the dam is filled.

Water is being heated in a close pan on top of a range while being stirred by a paddle wheel. During the process, 30kj of heat are transferred to the water, and 5kj of heat is lost to the surrounding air. The paddle-wheel work amounts to 500 N*m. Determine the final energy of the system if its initial energy is 10kj.
