Water stored in a dam possesses

(a) no energy

(b) electrical energy

(c) kinetic energy

(d) potential energy

Answers (1)

Answer:  [D]

Solution.

Water stored in a dam remains at rest.
The kinetic energy of the water stored will be zero as its speed is zero.

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
Electrical energy is not possessed by stored water.
The water has mass, and it occupies the space above the surface of ground.
Therefore, the water will have gravitational potential energy.
PE=mgh

Hence, the correct answer to this question is option D.
