The water behind a dam has potential energy that can be converted to kinetic energy to turn a turbine true or false

This is true because the water would have gravitational potential energy that is caused by the water being held back by the dam and the water wanting to flow down.

This can be converted into kinetic energy when given the chance to, such as having a turbine on the dam.

Hope this helps! :)

It's a 50\50% but I am going to say true because of hydroelectric power

Firstly, the water in the dams hold gravitational potential energy as they are above ground level. the gravitational potential energy is then transferred to kinetic energy as it falls, spinning the turbinethe turbine then spins the generator, which is a large magnet surrounded by metal coils. by doing this, the generator generates electricity. in this action, the energy transfer taken place is kinetic to electric energy
