I would think it as kinetic energy because it is moving.

How is a river potential energy changed into kinetic energy?

As gravity pulls water down a slope, the water's potential energy changes to kinetic energy that can do work.


Is a river potential or kinetic energy?

Both, if you refer to a flowing stream. The topographic elevation of the streambed above the base level toward which it leads (e.g., sea level) is indicative of the potential energy of the water in the river. (Another kind of potential energy is proportional to the water depth above the streambed.) The river's kinetic energy is proportional to the square of its current velocity and to the mass of moving water. Remember KE = (m v^2)/2 from physics? If the river ceases to flow, for example enters a lake or impoundment, its kinetic energy will decrease to zero. Yet because of potential energy, its water may still have considerable energy.


What happens to the potential energy of the water in a river as gravity pulls the water downhill?

Since potential energy is proportional to elevation, the potential energy of water gets less and less as it goes downhill.Its kinetic energy (based on velocity) may well increase, but the question asked about potential energy.


River water held behind a dam i sbest described as a form of kinetic energy chemical energy entropy thermodynamics or potential energy?

Potential energy. The water behind a dam has stored potential energy due to its position above the ground level. This potential energy can be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy, when the water is released and flows downstream.


Is liquid potential or kinetic energy?

Liquid can possess both potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the stored energy within a liquid due to its position or composition, such as gravitational potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion exhibited by a liquid, like the movement of water flowing in a river.


What type of energy do pebbles flowing in a river have?

First, pebbles do not "flow" in a river, it is the river which flows. The flowing of a river is caused by the conversion of potential energy (caused by the height difference in the water at the rivers current position and it mouth) into kinetic energy (the movement of flowing). If the friction between the flow of the water and the pebble is high enough, some of the kinetic energy in the water can be passed to the pebble and this too will begin to move.


Does the water stored behind a dam have kinetic energy before it is released?

Yes, water stored in a reservoir is an example of potential energy. Potential energy is defined as Energystored within a physical system as a result of the position or configuration of the different parts of that system. It has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, such as Kinetic_energy, and to do Work_(physics) in the process. The water is stored in the reservoir and can be used to generate electricity.


Why is hydropower potential energy?

The potential energy in this system is the column of water stored behind the dam. This water has the potential to have its energy turned into electric power.


What kind of energy does water at the top of a dam?

Potential.


Does water have energy?

Yes, water has energy in the form of kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy refers to the energy from water molecules moving, while potential energy refers to the energy stored when water is held at a certain height.


Is a glass of water sitting on a table potential energy?

No, a glass of water sitting on a table does not have potential energy. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or state, such as when the glass of water is raised above the table.
