Which statement correctly identifies the relative levels of kinetic and potential energy in a hydroelectric dam?

(1 point)

Kinetic and potential energy are both highest at the top.

Kinetic and potential energy are both highest at the bottom.

Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top.

Kinetic energy is highest at the top; potential energy is highest at the bottom

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 stored at the top has high potential energy due to its elevation. As it flows down, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is highest at the bottom where the water is moving fastest.
