Question

Moving water in rivers has kinetic energy while water stored in dams has potential energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Dams store water at a height that can be used to generate electricity, for irrigation purposes, and others.
2. The water which is at rest possesses potential energy.
3. This potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy only when the water starts to move or in the case of rivers.

Hence, the statement given statement is true.
