Question

question 8
river water held behind a dam is a form of ______.
o chemical energy
o thermodynamics
o entropy
o potential energy
o kinetic energy

Explanation:

Potential energy is stored energy. River water held behind a dam has the potential to do work when released, due to its elevated position. Chemical energy involves energy stored in chemical bonds. Thermodynamics is a branch of physics about heat and work. Entropy is a measure of disorder. Kinetic energy is energy of motion, and the water behind the dam is mostly stationary.

Answer:

potential energy
