Is dam water an example for potential energy?
Yes. When u use the word potential energy,it means stored energy. A water being hold in the dam above ground contains stored gravitational potential energy.
Is hydroelectric energy is an example of using a kinetic energy?
Water is stored behind a dam and possesses potential energy. When it is released and made to run down conduits down the dam to turn turbines the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy which in turn is converted to electrical energy.
How can hydro power be conserved?
Well. There are two answers. The first is that it can't be. Not perfectly anyway, because nothing is 100% efficient. The question you were probably asking is how can it be stored. That ones easier. The potential energy of the water is stored in a reservoir, behind a dam. During off peak hours water can be pumped up into the dam and then released during peak hours.
What type of energy does water behind a dam have?
Heat from the sun evaporates water. Uneven heating of the earth's surface causes wind to blow clouds up into the mountains. Rain falls on the mountains and makes its way down the mountain into streams which fill the lake behind a dam.
Can energy be transfered from one object to another?
energy can neither be created nor destroyed. it can only be transferred from one object to other in different forms. for eg: when water is stored in a dam , it possess potential energy but when the dam is opened for various purposes the water then is used to run the turbines using its kinetic energy.
Water stored behind a dam is an example of what type of energy?
Water stored behind a dam is an example of potential energy (energy of position). As the water flows through the dam, some of the water's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion), which is typically further converted into electrical energy through the use of spinning magnets and coils of wire.
List three forms of stored energy?
A guess: glucose, gasoline, water stored behind the Hoover Dam.
Why is hydropower potential energy?
The potential energy in this system is the column of water stored behind the dam. This water has the potential to have its energy turned into electric power.
What is potintiel energy?
Potential energy is "stored energy" because of its position in space. For example, a car parked at the top of a hill, or the water behind a dam.
The what energy of water in a dam is increased by raising the level of water behind the dam?
Potential Energy
What is water behind a dam?
standing surface waterfrom f.b
What is the main source of energy for hydroelectricity?
Water. (There is a clue in the name). Hydroelectricity is created by the use of the potential energy in water stored behind a dam. Actually, water itself is not a source of energy, though the original answer is somewhat correct, that it is the potential energy of the water (due to its height) stored behind the dam, we must look at what energy source moved the water (against the force of gravity) to its height behind the dam, and that source is the radiant energy of the sun. With the exception of nuclear and geothermal, the sun provides the source of all energy used on earth. Tidal 'energy' is mainly the result of the Moon's gravitational pull and therefore is not dependent on the Sun.
What type of energy is captured using a dam?
Potential energy stored in water.
Is dam water an example for potential energy?
Yes. When u use the word potential energy,it means stored energy. A water being hold in the dam above ground contains stored gravitational potential energy.
Which is an advantage of building a dam?
Building a dam results in a body of water behind the dam and an area of dry land in front of the dam. The body of water behind the dam can be seeded with fish for sports or a food source (pisciculture). The water can be used as a reservoir for drinking water or as an entertainment area. The dry area in front of the dam can be used for living space and agriculture. The dam itself can be constructed, as many dams are, to use the stored energy in the water to generate electricity.

What energy is stored in dam?
Potential energy
