A dam holding water is potential energy. Kinetic energy requires motion. The general formula for kinetic energy is:
Ekinetic = ½m·v²
If there is no movement, velocity (v) is 0.

Is the tendency of a system to become more disordered?
Assuming this is a chemistry question... The entropy of the system increases, as entropy is considered a measure of randomness of a chemical system. The universe favors entropy increases.
What is the entropy of HCOOH liquid?
The thermodynamics of HCOOH and other substances are on this page: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/tables/therprop4.html ***Entropy: 129.0 J/K*mol
What is the difference between a reaction that happens spontaneously and a reaction that doesn't?
The difference can be clarified by entropy (the second rule of thermodynamics).The reaction is more spontaneous with higher entropy, for the reactions that occur spontaneously the entropy is higher than for the ones that do not.
Who developed the concept of entropy?
The concept of entropy was developed in the 1850s by German physicist Rudolf Clausius who described it as the transformation-content, i.e. dissipative energy use, of a thermodynamic system or working body of chemical species during a change of s
Is it possible for entropy to be negative and For entropy change to be negative and For entropy production to be negative?
Assuming you mean can entropy be reduced; the answer is yes. Only in an open system such as our planet. The universe is a closed systems. The entropy of the universe cannot be reduced. Chemical changes can reduced entropy in an open system. When gas turns into a liquid or when a liquid turns into a solid; entropy is reduced.

Is entropy closely related to the 1st law of thermodynamics?
It is related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics
What is EEE in thermodynamics?
Energy, Entropy and Efficiency........
What does entropy have to do with anything?
Entropy has to do with everything. The Laws of thermodynamics govern everything in the known universe.
Why does the engine not release all of the chemical energy as mechanical energy?
Because of the behavior of thermodynamics (entropy), it wastes some of the energy in the form of heat.
Which thermodynamic law has to do with entropy?
The second law of thermodynamics, generally stated, is that the entropy of an isolated system always increases in any natural process where change occurs. In a system at equilibrium, of course, the entropy remains constant.
Which law is entropy closely related to?
Entropy is closely related to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy of a closed system will always remain the same or increase over time, but never decrease. This law describes the tendency of systems to move towards a state of maximum disorder or randomness.
In the science of thermodynamics the property of randomness is also referred to as?
ENTROPY
