Solution

  1. The water stored in the dam possesses potential energy due to its height. This is referred to as gravitational energy.

  2. When the water is allowed to fall, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. This is the energy of motion.

  3. The kinetic energy of the falling water is used to move the turbine.

  4. As the turbine moves, it drives a generator which transforms the kinetic energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy is then transmitted for use.

Describe the form of energy that is transformed into electrical energy in a hydroelectric power station, and explain how the water gained its energy.

The hydropower plant transforms one form of energy into another. However, the total amount of energy of the water stays the same until it enters the turbine.Explain how this statement is supported by the three column charts above.

Like all models, the flow diagram for the hydro power plant is simplified.Propose one energy transfer or energy transformation that could be added to the flow diagram to make it more accurate.

Water behind a dam has a certain amount of stored energy that can be released as the water falls over the top of the dam. It may be enough energy to turn a mill wheel or an electricity-generating turbine. Choose the term that best describes the type of energy stored in the water at the top of the dam.Group of answer choicesChemicalPotentialKineticRadiant

Hydroelectric dams are 90% or more efficient, meaning 90% or more of the original energy is converted into the final, usable form. But that still leaves up to 10% that isn't transformed. In the diagram above the locations of the two main sources of waste energy are marked with pink labels.Propose the forms of the waste energy from these locations. Write them into the diagram. Hint 1: One kind is created by friction in a machine.Hint 2: If you can't think of the second one, go to the next question – it might help.
