Question
Which statement correctly identifies the relative levels of kinetic and potential energy in a hydroelectric dam?(1 point)
Responses
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.
Kinetic energy is highest at the top; potential energy is highest at the bottom.
Kinetic and potential energy are both highest at the bottom.
Kinetic and potential energy are both highest at the bottom.
Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top.
1 answer
The correct statement is:
Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top.
In a hydroelectric dam, water at the top has high potential energy due to its elevation, while as the water flows down and reaches the bottom, its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases, reaching its highest point at the bottom where it is moving fastest.
