Answer:

Kinetic Energy and

Potential Energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is simply defined as the energy of motion, it can be observed as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles. Once an object is in motion definitely it posses kinetic energy: These includes:

1.)a body walking on a road

2.) When a baseball is thrown

3.)a piece of food falling from a table

4.) a charged particle in an electric field

5.)A moving Car.

6.)Bullet From a Gun.

7.)FlyingAirplane.

Potential energy is referred to as mechanical energy, or stored energy. It is a type of energy that is caused by its position. Examples are;

1.) Energy of a coiled spring.

2.) Energy posses by wheels on roller skates before a body skates.

3.) Energy posses by a stretched rubber band.

4 .) Energy posses by water that is behind a dam.

5.) Energy posses by snow pack

Therefore,Hydroelectric energy is based on the Kinetic energy of water being converted to potential energy as water falls and pushes against the turbine.
