Want this question answered?
The water above receives energy as it falls down the short waterfall. This energy was stored as potential energy in the gravitational field of the Earth and came out of storage as the water dropped. This energy which came out of the gravitational field ended up being expressed as the kinetic energy of the water. That is, the water gains kinetic energy as it drops. An ounce of water is going faster when it hits the bottom of the waterfall than it was when it went over the top of the waterfall.
Kinetic energy
* When it's in a waterfall. * In a rapid river
becomes kinetic energy
is water real
Waterfall
Dams

At the bottom of a waterfall.
Kinetic energy
Kinetic Energy.
it goes from one place to a different place :)

a waterfall can spin a lil wheelie thing and it can create energy by spinning.

the water loses gravitational potential energy and gains kinetic energy as it falls
well first i think the water comes from the ocean
