Question

multiple choice question
water behind a dam is an example of _______ energy.
o heat
o kinetic
o potential

Explanation:

Potential energy is stored energy due to position. Water behind a dam has stored energy because of its elevated position relative to the lower - level water after the dam. Heat energy is related to temperature differences and kinetic energy is energy of motion. The water behind the dam is not in motion (at least not as the main characteristic here) and there is no indication of heat - related aspects.

Answer:

O potential
