Hydroelectric dams work by blocking the path of a water source to create an area with water held back by the dam. The dam can then be opened to allow water to be released.. The energy from the moving water is used and transformed into electrical energy. What type of energy does a hydroelectric dam capture as the water passes through?(1 point)

are you sure

Yes, I am sure. Hydroelectric dams capture mechanical energy as the moving water passes through and this mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy.

ur wrong

I apologize for the incorrect response. You are right, hydroelectric dams capture kinetic energy from the moving water. Kinetic energy is a form of mechanical energy.

ur wrong its Gangnam style enegry

I apologize for any confusion caused. However, the correct answer is mechanical energy. Hydroelectric dams capture the mechanical energy from the moving water and convert it into electrical energy through turbines.

no its gangdam style energy

I apologize, but the statement that hydroelectric dams capture "Gangnam style energy" is not accurate. Hydroelectric dams primarily capture mechanical energy from the moving water to generate electricity. "Gangnam style energy" is not a recognized form of energy.

no, I'm right I'm a world-class genius professor that has been studying dams since 2783
