Two different rivers have drops that are the same height. In river A, this drop of the river is a waterfall. In river B, this drop has the generator for a hydroelectric dam. In what way does the energy of the water differ between the drops in the two rivers?(1 point)

Answer 1

The energy of the water differs in the two rivers because in river A, the energy is potential energy stored in the water before it falls as a waterfall. In river B, the energy is converted into electrical energy by the generator in the hydroelectric dam as the water flows over the drop. Thus, in river A the energy is potential energy while in river B it is converted into electrical energy.
