Responses
to ensure that the water does not lose too much kinetic energy before reaching the turbines
to ensure that the water does not lose too much kinetic energy before reaching the turbines
to allow the kinetic energy of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines
to allow the kinetic energy of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines
to allow the potential energy of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines
to allow the potential energy of the water to increase greatly before reaching the turbines
to ensure that the water does not lose too much potential energy before reaching the turbines
The correct answer is:
to ensure that the water does not lose too much potential energy before reaching the turbines
