Flowing water is kinetic because it is moving.

Kinetic-moving

Potential-still

potential energy is stored energy and kinetic energy is being used.

So it is kinetic.

Is water flowing from a waterfall before it hits the pond below kinetic or potential energy?

is water real


Can a flowing water is a form of potential energy?

NOPE! Water flowing is a kinetic energy source because its moving!


What does flowing water have in a river?

Flowing water has kinetic energy


What type of energy in flowing water?

Mechanical energy, if it is moving then it is kinetic mechanical energy. Or if it is at the top of a hill about to fall then it is potential mechanical energy.


Did wind possesses both kinetic and potential energy?

Blowing wind has kinetic energy. This can be transformed into electrical energy using a turbine to transform the wind into rotational kinetic energy and a generator or alternator to convert the rotational kinetic energy to electrical energy. Water above a dam has potential energy from gravity and also from the weight of the water around it. Once it is moving or flowing down through the pipes it then has kinetic energy.


How do you get energy from flowing water?

kinetic


Is hydroelectric energy kinetic energy?

Potential energy, because the energy in this process is produced through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water.


Does a water fall have kinetic energy?

Yes, it does. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. If you have a waterfall, the energy within it is constantly being moved. If it were perhaps a waterfall that was frozen over, then it would not have kinetic energy; it would have potential energy. Relative to the pool at the bottom, the water at the top has potential energy until it reaches the edge. After it spills over, each kilogram of water loses 9.8 joules of potential energy and gains 9.8 joules of kinetic energy for every meter it falls. When it reaches the bottom, all of the potential energy it had at the top has been converted to kinetic energy.


What was the driving force of water?

Generally when water is used as a source of energy it is either the kinetic energy of the flowing water or the potential energy of the water as it changed height that was used as the energy source. In both cases it is gravity that is the ultimate driving force that makes the water move (for kinetic energy) or is the source of the potential energy - which is recovered as the water moves from higher to lower.


Is hydroelectric energy potential or kinetic energy?

Potential energy, because the energy in this process is produced through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water.


What a water able a hydroelectric dam have kinetic energy or potential energy?

The raised water, which stores the energy, has gravitational potential energy.While it is moving, the water has kinetic energy.


What are the energy transformations in a power plant?

The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy
