Is kinetic energy more than potential energy?
Both are forms of energy. Potential energy is the available energy that could be used and Kinetic energy is the energy actually being used. Think of Potential energy as being a high cliff with water on top. The higher the cliff the more energy available. If no water is falling though, there is noting being used, But the potential for falling water is still there. Kinetic energy is the water that actually falls.
How does falling water transfer from potential energy to electrical energy?
The water in a reservoir or lake, at a higher level than the water turbine, has potential energy. When released to flow down to the turbine it gains kinetic energy due to the movement of mass, then this is turned to mechanical energy in the turbine and finally to electrical energy in the generator
Is water flowing from a waterfall before it hits the pond below kinetic or potential energy?
is water real
How is potential energy is stored?
It really depends on the type of potential energy, but basically, just keeping an object in a high energy position, against some force, will store the potential energy. For example, water has more potential energy when it is in a higher position; typically it would be kept in a high position by a dam, until the energy is needed.
What is some examples of potential energy that you can see in your own home?
If you get a rubber band and pull it back, that is potential energy, when you let go and the rubber band and it is in motion that is kinetic energy. potential energy is when an object is about to move because it is storing energy, and the higher the object is the more potential energy it has.
What is water potential gradient?
similar to potential energy, water flows down a gradient from higher potential to lower potential. Higher potential is generally in the soil/roots and lower potential is at the leaves/atmosphere. The water has potential to flow down the gradient
How do you convert water into energy?
If you mean hydraulic energy, you don't really "convert water to energy". If the water is in a higher position, it has more energy (potential energy); when it falls down, this potential energy is converted to some other type of energy.
Is osmosis an example of active transport?
no, Osmosis is the movement of water from a higher water potential to a low water potential. This requires no energy. Active transport requires energy and it involves substances moving from a lower concentration to a higher.
Why the temperature of water is higher at the bottom waterfall?
the water loses gravitational potential energy and gains kinetic energy as it falls

How does osmosis and diffusion conserve energy?
Osmosis is the net movement of water particles from a area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential and this does not require any extra energy input like in active transport. Therefore energy is conserved.
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.
How does falling water transfer from potential energy to electrical energy?
The water in a reservoir or lake, at a higher level than the water turbine, has potential energy. When released to flow down to the turbine it gains kinetic energy due to the movement of mass, then this is turned to mechanical energy in the turbine and finally to electrical energy in the generator
Will the temperature of the heated water be higher when 4 peanuts were used to heat the water?
I believe yes because each peanut has potential energy and 4 peanuts have more potential energy than just one.
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.

is water real
