The Components Behind Energy of the Waterfall

    The waterfall has velocites in both the horizantal and vertical directions. V1 has the same value at both positions in the graph, or equal to the flow of the stream. V2 on top of the falls is zero at the very top because the vertical force hasn't had time to gain any momentum, and V2 at the bottom has gained all the momentum it will reach before hitting the surface and has a value equal to sqrt(2*g*h). Adding the velocity values together will give a total Velocity to a waterfall.
