Answer:

Potential & Kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The water used gains potential energy overtime before it is converted to mechanical (or kinetic energy). This can be explained by the water having increased potential energy as it flows at an equal altitude, but converting to kinetic energy as it flows downhill, or over the dam.

This kinetic (or mechanical) energy is then converted to traditional electricity. This process is also an example of a renewable resource being utilized for everyday things (such as powering cars, homes. or charging batteries).

Based on the formula for kinetic energy, how will the temperature change if you increase the average velocity of the molecules i

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Temperature will increase

Explanation:

As we know

$KE = \frac{2}{3} RT$

Where KE represents the Kinetic Energy, R represents the gas constant and T represents the temperature.

As the kinetic energy increases, the velocity of the gas molecules increases due to which the gas molecule start moving rapidly and hence exerts higher amount of force on the wall of the container in which it is kept.

The higher force leads to generation of higher pressure and hence the higher temperature.
