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 water falls approximately 180 feet every second. Water at the top of the Falls possesses neither gravitational potential energy nor kinetic energy. only kinetic energy. kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. only gravitational potential energy.

Little

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it b right

OpenStudy (roadjester):

KE=1/2 mv^2 PE=mgh At the top of the falls there is height. Water is moving

OpenStudy (roadjester):

nope, try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c

OpenStudy (roadjester):

bingo, both kinetic AND potential energy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D
