Question

7
Water stored in a dam possesses
a. Kinetic energy
b. Mechanical energy
c. Gravitational potential energy
d. Elastic potential energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

The water behind a hydroelectric dam stores gravitational potential energy since it is at a higher level than the water on the other side of the dam. As the water falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which turns turbines to generate electricity.
