Question

Water is harnessed to move a turbine. How is energy converted in this case?

Answer 1

Answer:

Kinetic energy, to mechanical energy

Explanation:

In this case, where moving water is being used to turn a turbine, the moving water has kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is then converted to mechanical energy where the turbine is then turned.

After this, the turbine may be used to generate electricity, and in this case, as the mechanical energy of the turbine is building up, it gets converted into electrical energy, which can be stored in batteries, or released to homes.
