Best Answer

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.

Flowing water has kinetic energy inside it. It can be utilized to convert it into other forms too.


Electromagnetic induction creates electrical energy by using What types of energy?

Anssorry, you didn't list the option?I would say its kinetic for sure. But you didn't say what powers the generator? For example, if its hydroelectric (like an electric dam), then no combustion takes place.

No.


Is swimming a kinetic energy?

yes,it is a kinetic energy,you are moving hence using energy


How hydroelectric energy works?

it works by using a turbine


Example of kinetic energy?

Anything that had potential energy then converted to kinetic energy. A good example would a ball. If you are playing bowling and you are swinging the ball backwards and about to through it foward, the ball has potential energy. Once you release it, and while the ball is falling it has kinetic energy. The energy of the changes from potential to kinetic energy. Hope this helps XD


What is a example for movement?

Movement is when your move your body with your muscles. You are using kinetic energy to control the movement in your body.


What is the difference between Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy?

POTENTIAL ENERGY is energy when something has energy but is currently stored and not being used. Example: Batteries have electrical energy stored in them but is not used until put inside of a camera, controller, remote, and etc. KINETIC ENERGY is energy when something is being moved, thrown, rolled, or spun by force. Example: When a football is thrown from the Quarterback to the Receiver, the ball is thrown using KINETIC ENERGY.


What are the positive aspects of using hydroelectric energy?

One advantage of using hydroelectric energy is that it is a renewable source of energy. Other positive aspects include a guarantee in energy and price stability as well as its feasibility in utilizing other renewable sources.


What is kinetic energy measured with?

Kinetic energy is calculated using mass and velocity. KE=1/2mv2


If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?

Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
