What type of energy does a water fall have?

potential and kinetic


What are some examples of energy conversions from potential to kinetic?

In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.


Is water flowing from a waterfall before it hits the pond below kinetic or potential energy?

is water real


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 a water fall an example of kinetic energy?

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 Mass * Velocity squared KE = (1/2)mV2 Your stream has mass and, if running, has velocity. So, this would be an example of generated kinetic energy.


Is a fish swimming water potential or kinetic energy?

Kinetic


How does potential change into kinetic?

Usually by allowing an object to fall.


What is the difference between kinetic and potential enrgy?

Kinetic energy is the motion of an object (real). Potential energy is a measure of the kinetic energy an object WOULD have if it were to be released and allowed to fall.


Does a water fall have kinetic energy?

Yes, it does. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. If you have a waterfall, the energy within it is constantly being moved. If it were perhaps a waterfall that was frozen over, then it would not have kinetic energy; it would have potential energy. Relative to the pool at the bottom, the water at the top has potential energy until it reaches the edge. After it spills over, each kilogram of water loses 9.8 joules of potential energy and gains 9.8 joules of kinetic energy for every meter it falls. When it reaches the bottom, all of the potential energy it had at the top has been converted to kinetic energy.


What is difference between potential and kinetic energy give two examples?

If the object is placed at height, it has potential energy and when this object falls down, this potential energy is converted to kinetic (kinesis means movement) energy. If we have to lift object at height , we have to spend energy, witch is released during fall of the object. Example is when water comes down in hydroelectric power station potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Witch is used to rotate wheel, creating electricity.


What is the energy in an object about to fall?

the energy in an object about to fall is potential energy then kinetic energy because when the object is not falling, it has potential energy but when it's actually falling, it has kinetic energy.


What a water able a hydroelectric dam have kinetic energy or potential energy?

The raised water, which stores the energy, has gravitational potential energy.While it is moving, the water has kinetic energy.
