∙ 13y agoAt the top of the waterfall, the water has potential energy. Once it goes over the edge and begins to fall due to the force of gravity, the potential energy shifts into kinetic energy. No energy can be lost or gained during this conversion, due to the First Law of Thermodynamics. The energy conversion of a waterfall can be harnessed to produce hydroelectric electricity.

∙ 11y agoThe water at the top of the waterfall has more potential energy then the water in a lake.As the water falls the potential energy changes to kinetic energy. You see the effects of the energy as the water strikes rocks at the bottom of the waterfall.

Is a waterfall an example of mechanical energy?
From my understanding, yes. A waterfall is an example of potential gravitational energy and kinetic energy. The water is moving downstream at a fast pace (kinetic energy) and when reaching the drop off the water gains potential gravitational energy and drops towards the ground. Mechanical energy is a mix between Kinetic energy and any type of potential energy so yes, a waterfall is an example of Mechanical Energy.

A comparison of amount of energy before a conversion with the amount of useful energy after a conversion?
Usually, the amount of useful energy after a conversion will be less than the original energy. In no case can it be more.Usually, the amount of useful energy after a conversion will be less than the original energy. In no case can it be more.Usually, the amount of useful energy after a conversion will be less than the original energy.
