Question
why are the turbines for hydroelectric dams located far below the top of the dam? to allow... that the water does not lose too much pe before reaching the turbines the ke of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines the pe of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines that the water does not lose too much ke before reaching the turbines
As water falls from a greater height in the dam, its potential energy (PE) is converted into kinetic energy (KE) according to the conservation - of - energy principle. Turbines are located far below to harness the maximum KE of the falling water.
