The turbines for hydroelectric dams are located far below the top of the dam to allow the potential energy of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines. This potential energy, due to the height of the water above the turbines, is converted into kinetic energy as the water flows down, maximizing the energy that can be harnessed when it turns the turbines.
Why are the turbines for hydroelectric dams located far below the top of the dam?(1 point) Responses to ensure that the water does not lose too much kinetic energy before reaching the turbines to ensure that the water does not lose too much kinetic energy before reaching the turbines to ensure that the water does not lose too much potential energy before reaching the turbines to ensure that the water does not lose too much potential energy before reaching the turbines to allow the kinetic energy of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines to allow the kinetic energy of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines to allow the potential energy of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines
