What type of energy does the water have when it is in the reservior?
In a high reservoir waiting to go through a hydroelectric generator the water's main energy is potential energy because that is converted to kinetic energy before the water meets the turbine blades.
How does water make energy?
Water doesn't make energy because energy can't be created or destroyed. However we can use the kinetic energy of flowing water or the potential energy of water in a reservoir to generate electrical energy using a turbine and a generator.
Which type of energy is associated with following water it is mechanical or kinetic or potential?
Water, when stationary, has potential energy. When it's moving, it has kinetic energy. Take the water in a reservoir for example. held back by the dam, it has potential energy - because, although it's not doing anything, it has the 'potential' to move. When it's released to turn turbines, it has kinetic energy because it's moving.
Water is potential or kinetic energy?
That depends on whether the water is in motion. Water coming from a fire hose certainly packs a lot of kinetic energy. Water held in a reservoir behind a dam represents a lot of potential energy but no kinetic.
Hoover damn and law of conservation of energy?
Potential energy in the reservoir of water is turned into kinetic energy as the water rushes down to the turbines where it's turned into electric energy and fed into the national grid.

What is water behind a dam?

What does the water stored in a reservoir have?
The water stored in a reservoir has been used to make up for the loss of sea levels. This is water stored to be used in various things, including generation of hydro power.

How do you convert nuclear energy to potential energy?
You could for instance convert the nuclear energy to mechanical or electrical energy and use it to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it will have potential energy.
How do you convert electrical energy into potential energy?
You can use the electricity to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it then has mechanical potential energy. Or store it in a battery - chemical potential energy.
What is the most common type of wave?
The waves generated in a water reservoir due to a disturbance.
What type of energy are water waves?
Water waves have mechanical energy.
What is hydro power plant reservoir?
it is energy regeneration power plant in which water is used to generate power.water is moving on turbine and then turbine moves so energy stored in the resrvoir yhat is called as hydro power plant reservoir.
