The what energy of water in a dam is increased by raising the level of water behind the dam?
Potential Energy
What energy is stored in dam?
Potential energy
How does energy change forms as it goes from behind a dam to downstream of a dam?
potential energy that converts to kinetic energy
The Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River produces what type of energy?
A dam is used for hydroelectric energy.
What kind of energy does the hover dam convert and what kind of energy does it output?
A hydroelectric dam converts part of the kinetic energy of falling water to electrical energy.
How is mitochondria like a hydraulic dam?
Mitochondria are like a hydraulic dam because both store and produce energy. Mitochondria convert nutrients into energy molecules called ATP, which is essential for cell function. Similarly, a hydraulic dam converts the potential energy of water into kinetic energy, which is used to generate electricity.
How does a dam transform mechanical energy from the motion of the water into electrical energy?
A dam does not transform mechanical energy from the motion of water into electrical energy. A turbine can convert the kinetic energy of moving water, coming from a dam, a river, or anywhere, into mechanical energy, which a generator then takes to convert that into electrical energy.
What energy does dam use?
Kinetic energy to electric
What type of renewable energy is a dam?
Hydro energy
How is biomas energy utilized?
By combustion /burning.
Does the Hoover Dam use solar energy?
No, it produces hydro-electric energy, though solar energy was used to get the water recycled from the oceans into the dam.
How is the energy from the ocean utilized?
For generating energy from the power of the waves or tidal-barrages.
