Question
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 bottom; potential energy is highest at the top.
Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is 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 and potential energy are both highest at the top.
Kinetic and potential energy are both highest at the top.
Kinetic energy is highest at the top; potential energy is highest at the bottom.

The correct statement is:
Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top.
In a hydroelectric dam, water has maximum potential energy at the top due to its elevation. As the water flows down, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is highest at the bottom where the water is moving fastest.
