Kinetic Energy = 1/2 Mass * Velocity squared
KE = (1/2)mV2
Your stream has mass and, if running, has velocity. So, this would be an example of generated kinetic energy.
running water
A coiled spring is potential energy.
It is an example of conversion of potential energy (at the top) into kinetic energy (at the bottom).
no. it is potential, it doesn't turn into kinetic until you let it go.
As long as it isn't moving, it has no kinetic energy. A coiled spring has elastic energy - a type of potential energy.
no,it was potential energy
Elastic potential energy.
Yes, running water is kinetic energy.
coiled spring
your mom is the sign of kinetic energy
If the object is placed at height, it has potential energy and when this object falls down, this potential energy is converted to kinetic (kinesis means movement) energy. If we have to lift object at height , we have to spend energy, witch is released during fall of the object. Example is when water comes down in hydroelectric power station potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Witch is used to rotate wheel, creating electricity.
The same as any other falling object. When it is at the top, it has gravitational potential energy; as it falls, that's converted to kinetic energy.
kinetic energy because kinetic energy means moving
Mechanical energy, if it is moving then it is kinetic mechanical energy. Or if it is at the top of a hill about to fall then it is potential mechanical energy.
In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.

Yes, it does. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. If you have a waterfall, the energy within it is constantly being moved. If it were perhaps a waterfall that was frozen over, then it would not have kinetic energy; it would have potential energy. Relative to the pool at the bottom, the water at the top has potential energy until it reaches the edge. After it spills over, each kilogram of water loses 9.8 joules of potential energy and gains 9.8 joules of kinetic energy for every meter it falls. When it reaches the bottom, all of the potential energy it had at the top has been converted to kinetic energy.
Gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy of the fall. Some of that is then converted to heat which helps water to evaporate and to slightly increase the water temperature at the foot of the fall, some is converted to the noise of the waterfall, some is used to erode rocks at the foot of the fall.

Dams
Both, if you refer to a flowing stream. The topographic elevation of the streambed above the base level toward which it leads (e.g., sea level) is indicative of the potential energy of the water in the river. (Another kind of potential energy is proportional to the water depth above the streambed.) The river's kinetic energy is proportional to the square of its current velocity and to the mass of moving water. Remember KE = (m v^2)/2 from physics? If the river ceases to flow, for example enters a lake or impoundment, its kinetic energy will decrease to zero. Yet because of potential energy, its water may still have considerable energy.
potential energy at the top then kinetic energy optional- then sound energy (the crashing noise at the bottom)
Anything that moves has kinetic energy. Water may also have potential energy - if it is at a higher level and you have the possibility of making it fall down. And running water can be used to make electrical energy.
