<em>The turbine blades capture the kinetic energy of the water The mechanical energy of the turbine rotates the generator parts. The generator produces the electrical energy that is then transferred via power lines</em>
Explanation:
<u>Hydroelectric Plant
</u>
It's widely used to transform potential gravitational energy of the water located at a higher height into electrical energy. A dam is constructed in the potential location of the power plant, so all the water is directed to the turbines at a lower level from the face of the water. This water enters a set of pipes that send the stream to the turbines, whose blades are moved by the water, capturing its kinetic energy. The turbine now has enough mechanical energy to have the generation system moving and transform mechanical into electrical energy. That electric energy is finally sent to the consuming centers through power lines.
Thus, the correct sequence is:
The turbine blades capture the kinetic energy of the water The mechanical energy of the turbine rotates the generator parts. The generator produces the electrical energy that is then transferred via power lines
Hooke's law states that the applied force F equals a constant k times the displacement or change in length x, or F = kx. ... Hooke's law describes the elastic properties of materials only in the range in which the force and displacement are proportional.
