What drives hydro-electricity?

The power of falling water. The kinetic energy of the moving water is transformed into electrical energy by the spinning of turbines.


Is hydro energy powerful?

No, hydro-power comes from moving water so it is kinetic energy.


What form of energy goes into a hydroelectric energy station and what form comes out?

Mechanical energy in the form of E= mgh, water falling, goes in and electrical enegy comes out.


Is hydro power chemical energy?

No, hydro-power comes from moving water so it is kinetic energy.


Is geothermal energy caused by falling water?

No, hydroelectric energy is caused by falling water.


What is the use energy from tides?

Tidal energy is captured by using turbines. When the tide comes in or out the moving water spins turbines that generate energy or electricity.


What are some objects that contain mechanical energy?

"the energy in moving things is mechanical energy. wind, moving water, and falling rocks all have mechanical energy. when you walk, run, or ride a bicyle, you are using mechanical energy. sound is a form of mechanical energy."-Concepts and Challenges in Physical Science


Why the moving water have kinectic energy?

kinectic energy means moving and the water that is said to be moving is kinectic because it is moving


Falling water is an example of what energy?

mechanical energy


Electricity produced by the kinetic energy of moving water?

Hydroelectricity is caused by falling water.


Why is hydroelectric energy a good source of energy?

It is good because it takes power from natural process occurring in the present or the recent past. The energy comes from running water from a high lake or reservoir down a large vertical drop and making it drive a turbine. That then drives a generator. So electric power is produced without burning fuel, so no CO2 is generated. The energy comes from the kinetic energy of falling water, which comes from the potential energy of the water due to its height. The water is carried up there by being evaporated from the oceans by the sun's rays, then falling as rain on the mountains.


Does hydroelectric energy come from the sun?

Technically, hydroelectric energy ultimately comes from the sun. This is because the sun's energy heats up water, moving water through the water cycle. Hydroelectric energy is generated by harnessing the power created by the movement of this water.
