Question

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 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.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

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

In a hydroelectric dam, potential energy is highest at the top due to the height of the water, and as the water flows down, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which is highest at the bottom.
