Question

drag each label to the correct location. each label can be used more than once. in a hydropower station, water stored in dams is allowed to fall with force to make a turbine move. the turbine moves and produces electricity. in the diagram, identify the stages of transformation of energy in the hydropower station. gravitational energy kinetic energy electric energy

Explanation:

Step1: Identify energy of stored water

The stored water in the dam has gravitational potential energy due to its height above the lower - level water. So, the label for the box near "stored water" is gravitational energy.

Step2: Identify energy as water falls

As the water falls from the dam, its height decreases and its speed increases. The gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. So, the label for the box along the path of falling water is kinetic energy.

Step3: Identify energy at turbine

The moving water hits the turbine and makes it rotate. The kinetic energy of the water is transferred to the turbine. So, the label for the box near the turbine is kinetic energy.

Step4: Identify energy at generator

The rotating turbine is connected to a generator. The mechanical energy (kinetic energy of the turbine) is converted into electrical energy by the generator. So, the label for the box near the generator and for the box near the power - lines is electric energy.

Answer:

Near "stored water": gravitational energy
Along the path of falling water: kinetic energy
Near the turbine: kinetic energy
Near the generator: electric energy
Near the power - lines: electric energy
