Ompare the ratio of kinetic energy to the potential energy

Reference no: EM13314987

If a unit mass of groundwater accelerates from rest to an average linear velocity of 1 m per year and climbs a vertical distance of 1 m, compare the ratio of kinetic energy to the potential energy of the unit of groundwater. Is it reasonable for us to ignore the kinetic energy associated with groundwater movement?
