Question

Niagara Falls is a set of very large waterfalls located on the border between New York and Ontario, Canada. Over 200,000 cubic feet of fast-moving waterfalls approximately 180 feet every second. Water at the top of the Falls possesses.

a. kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.
b. only kinetic energy.
c. only gravitational potential energy.
d. neither gravitational potential energy nor kinetic energy.

Answer 1

a. kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

It has kinetic energy because of its "fast-moving" water that is water in motion.

It has gravitational potential energy because of its height which is hundreds of feet

above the riverbed that is getting ready to fall down to, as soon as

it goes over the edge.

Answer 2

a) kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The water at the top of the fall possesses kinetic energy because the water is in motion, moving.

The water at the top also possess gravitational potential energy because it is falling under the influence of gravity. It is in a gravitational field.
