The water stored in dam can be used to generate electricity.give reason

Expert Answer:
The water stored in dams contains huge amount of potential energy stored in it. When we open the gates of the dam and let the water flow this potential energy converted into the kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is used to rotate the shaft of the genrators installed in the hydroelectric power plants and it produces electrical energy.

- Hi, my name is Aprameya i had a doubt we know K.E.(Kinetic Energy) = (1/2)mv^2 the v over here is velocity but at what time. Velocity will be different at differnt points of time i mean at 1second it might be something and and at another second it might be something else. so while calculating which velocity do we use
