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 allow the potential 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 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
1 answer
The correct response is: to allow the kinetic energy of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines.
By placing the turbines far below the top of the dam, the water falls a significant distance, gaining kinetic energy as it descends. This increased kinetic energy is what drives the turbines effectively, generating electricity efficiently.
