MCQ
Water stored in a dam possesses:
  • A
    No energy.
  • B
    Electrical energy.
  • C
    Kinetic energy.
  • D
    Potential energy.

Answer

  1. Potential energy.

Explanation:

The potential energy possessed by the object is the energy present in it by virtue of its position or configuration. Water stored in a dam, when allowed to flow, has kinetic energy which was earlier stored as potential energy.
