Which statement correctly identifies the relative levels of kinetic and potential energy in a hydroelectric dam?(1 point)

Responses..........

Kinetic energy is highest at the top; potential energy is highest at the bottom.
Kinetic energy is highest at the top; potential energy is highest at the bottom.

Kinetic and potential energy are both highest at the top.
Kinetic and potential energy are both highest at the top.

Kinetic and potential energy are both highest at the bottom.
Kinetic and potential energy are both highest at the bottom.

Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top.

The correct statement is:

Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top.

At the top of the dam, water has high potential energy due to its elevated position. As the water flows down, it converts potential energy to kinetic energy, reaching its highest kinetic energy at the bottom of the dam.
