Question

the turbines can be seen inside this hydroelectric dam. why are they located at that particular height? (1 point) there is a small drop, so the water will still have a lot of kinetic energy to transfer to the turbine. there is a small drop, so the water will still have a lot of potential energy to transfer to the turbine. there is a large drop, so the water will have a lot of potential energy to transfer to the turbine. there is a large drop, so the water will have a lot of kinetic energy to transfer to the turbine. page 7 of 7

Explanation:

In a hydro - electric dam, turbines are located at a height where there is a large drop in water level. This large drop gives the water a lot of potential energy initially. As the water falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy which is then transferred to the turbine to generate electricity. A small drop would not provide enough potential energy for efficient energy transfer to the turbine.

Answer:

There is a large drop, so the water will have a lot of potential energy to transfer to the turbine.
