Hydroelectric dams work by blocking the path of a water source to create an area with water held back by the dam. The dam can then be opened to allow water to be released. The energy from the moving water is used and transformed into electrical energy. What type of energy does a hydroelectric dam capture as the water passes through?
a
Sound Energy
b
Nuclear Energy
c
Mechanical Energy
d
Light Energy

are you correct
Yes, I am correct. Hydroelectric dams capture mechanical energy as the moving water passes through and use it to generate electrical energy.
The total amount of energy in the universe never changes, but the availability of each different type of energy to do work can change tremendously. What best explains this change in available energy?
a
Energy can only be transferred as heat.
b
Energy is always converted with 100 percent efficiency.
c
Energy can only be created through nuclear reactions.
d
Energy is regularly changing from one form into another.

Energy is regularly changing from one form into another.
are you sure?
Yes, I am sure. Energy is regularly changing from one form into another. This is known as the principle of energy conversion or the conservation of energy. Although the total amount of energy in the universe remains constant, it can change from one form to another, such as from kinetic energy to potential energy or from electrical energy to thermal energy.

are you sure
Apologies for the confusion caused by my previous response. The correct answer is:
a
Heated gases will have increased kinetic energy and increased density.
a
Heated gases will have increased kinetic energy and increased density.
During an experiment, a canister filled with hot water was added to a beaker filled with cold water. In which direction did the heat energy move?
a
The heat energy moved from the hot water of the canister into the cold water of the beaker.
b
No heat energy moved, as it all remained in the canister of hot water.
c
The heat energy moved from the cold water of the beaker into the hot water of the canister.
d
Equal amounts of heat energy from each container moved in both directions.
a
The heat energy moved from the hot water of the canister into the cold water of the beaker.
b
No heat energy moved, as it all remained in the canister of hot water.
c
The heat energy moved from the cold water of the beaker into the hot water of the canister.
d
Equal amounts of heat energy from each container moved in both directions.
a
The heat energy moved from the hot water of the canister into the cold water of the beaker.
The heat energy moved from the hot water of the canister into the cold water of the beaker.
are you right?
Yes, I am correct. When a canister of hot water is added to a beaker of cold water, heat energy will move from the hot water in the canister to the cold water in the beaker. This is because heat naturally flows from higher temperature regions to lower temperature regions in order to achieve thermal equilibrium.
