Question

use the slides (link in instructions to help you answer the question.) questions will be highlighted with aqua which type of energy is water held by a dam an example of? kinetic energy potential energy chemical energy electrical energy

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. Water held by a dam has potential energy because of its height above the ground. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion (water moving would have this). Chemical energy is stored in chemical bonds (not relevant here). Electrical energy is related to electric current (not the case for still water in a dam).

Answer:

potential energy
