Question 66
Easy

Electricity can be generated using a micro-hydroelectric system in a mountain stream.

Water spins a small turbine as it flows down a steep channel, converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy.

Calculate the minimum height that 15.0 kg of water must fall to gain 1176 J of kinetic energy.

Take gravitational field strength, g=9.8 N/kgg = 9.8\text{ N/kg}g=9.8 N/kg.
