Gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy of the fall. Some of that is then converted to heat which helps water to evaporate and to slightly increase the water temperature at the foot of the fall, some is converted to the noise of the waterfall, some is used to erode rocks at the foot of the fall.
What else can I help you with?
What type of transformation is Niagara fall?
potential energy
What is the energy transformation that occurs when you toss a fall upward and it falls?
When you toss a ball upward, the initial energy transformation is from mechanical energy (kinetic energy) to potential energy as the ball gains height. As the ball falls back down, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground.
Why cloud do not fall on the earth?
They do. It's called rain! The beautiful transformation of ice to water to vapor/cloud!
What type of energy does a water fall have?
potential and kinetic
Which transformation moves a drop of water to its new falling position?
The transformation that would move a drop of water to its new falling position is gravity. Gravity acts as a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, causing the water drop to fall.
What type of energy is falling rocks from mountain top?
The energy of falling rocks from a mountain top is primarily potential energy being converted to kinetic energy as the rocks fall. This transformation occurs due to the force of gravity acting on the rocks.
What is the transformation from water vapor turns to rain?
The transformation from water vapor to rain is called condensation. This occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere cools and changes back into liquid form, forming clouds. When the water droplets in the clouds become too heavy to remain suspended, they fall to the ground as rain.
Electricity Generated by the water stored in a dam can be considered to be another form of solar energyDescribing the series of energy transformation in sequence taking place during the process?
if the energy in your wall socket comes from a hydro-electric plant, then that energy came the the rotational energy (i.e. momentum, or kinetic energy) of the generator, the energy to turn the turbine that turns the generator comes from the potential energy of the water. that is to say it takes energy to lift water, so that means energy is given up when water falls, if we make that water fall onto turbine blades we can harness some of that energy in the way outlined above. And this is where the sun comes into play... the sun provides the initial energy (in the form of heat and radiation) that lifts the water (by evaporation) against the pull of gravity so that we may retrieve that energy when the water finally precipitates to the ground and seeks the low altitude of sea level.
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.
What is an example of energy transform?
candle ,light bulb ,television ,etc.its when say electrical energy goes through a toaster and turns into thermal energy or heat then sound when the toast is doneA energy can be changed or transformed. When you rub your hands together,your hands become warm. Mechanical energy due to motion is changed into heatenergyEnergy transformation is when a form of energy changes into another.by Chemical energyEnergy....comes from the sun and is practically used for everything!:)an energy transformation is when Engergy can be tranformed or transferred.energy is always transformed from one form to another.example:-the energy transformation of a television...Electrical energy-->light energy-->sound energyit's the process of changing energy frm one form to another one .
Where can hydroelectric energy be collected?
Hydroelectric energy can be collected anywhere that water can fall. Water is usually collected from higher elevations and made to travel down long pipe sets to water turbines that convert the potential energy of the water into electricity.
Why is hydroelectric energy renewable?
It relies on falling water. Water will always fall in certain parts of the planet forever.
