What kind of energy does water at the top of a dam?
Potential.
The ball rolling down an incline has its maximum potential energy at what point?
At the top, since potential energy is referred to an objects location, the highest the object the highest its potential energy.
What form energy does the water in a water fall have?
The same as any other falling object. When it is at the top, it has gravitational potential energy; as it falls, that's converted to kinetic energy.
Is kinetic energy more than potential energy?
Both are forms of energy. Potential energy is the available energy that could be used and Kinetic energy is the energy actually being used. Think of Potential energy as being a high cliff with water on top. The higher the cliff the more energy available. If no water is falling though, there is noting being used, But the potential for falling water is still there. Kinetic energy is the water that actually falls.
What happens to the gravitational potential energy when water at the top of a waterfall falls to the pool below?
becomes kinetic energy
Water at the top of a slope has potential energy?
Yes.
What kind of energy does water at the top of a dam?
Potential.
What is a good a sentence for the word potential energy?
The water at the top of a waterfall has a great amount of potential energy.
The ball rolling down an incline has its maximum potential energy at what point?
At the top, since potential energy is referred to an objects location, the highest the object the highest its potential energy.
What sitting still at the top of a slope has what type of energy?
An object that is stationary and at the top of something has "potential energy". (If you're getting into equations, it's PE = mgh, where PE = potential energy, m = mass of the object, g = the force of gravity, and h = the height of the object.)
How does a roller coaster convert potential energy to kinetic energy and then back to potential energy again and again?
So the potential energy is the energy in the car at the top of the first slope. It changes into kinetic energy (Speed with mass) as it rolls down the hill. Then the electric motor winds it back up the hill, putting potential energy in the system again.
What is the energy conversion of a waterfall?
Dams
What form energy does the water in a water fall have?
The same as any other falling object. When it is at the top, it has gravitational potential energy; as it falls, that's converted to kinetic energy.
What are the energy conversion that take place when water fall from top to the base?
potential energy at the top then kinetic energy optional- then sound energy (the crashing noise at the bottom)

Skiers are pulled up hill by a moving ski slope when they reach the top of the hill they ski down what type of energy do the skier gain as they go up hill?
Once the skiers go uphill by a cable car or lift, they gain potential energy. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy once the skiers start to ski down the slope.
Explain how water at the bottom of a waterfall has both potential energy and kinetic energy?
The water at the bottom of the waterfall has lost some potential energy in falling the height of the fall, but it has gained kinetic energy because it is moving faster than it was at the top. For a free flowing waterfall, ie one which has not had water diverted into a hydro power turbine on the way from top to bottom, the total energy ie potential and kinetic must be the same at the bottom as at the top.
