Question

Simone created a chart to summarize the energy transformations that take place when energy from the wind is used to generate electricity. A 2-column table with 2 rows titled Energy from Windmills. The first column labeled Process has entries wind spins turbines, turbines activate generators. The second column labeled energy Energy transformation has entries ?, mechanical energy transformed to electrical energy. Which best completes the chart? nuclear energy transformed to electrical energy chemical energy transformed to electrical energy radiant energy transformed to mechanical energy kinetic energy transformed to mechanical energy

Answer 1

Answer:

-kinetic energy transformed to mechanical energy

Explanation:-When the blades are moved or spins (rotational motion) some part of the kinetic energy of the wind is transformed into rotational kinetic energy of the the blades, which makes an axis rotate generating the electricity.

-Kinetic energy is mechanical energy (mechanical energy is basically kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy).

-Therefore, the kinetic energy of the wind is transformed into kinetic energy of the windmill (mechanical energy) and it is then transformed into electrical energy.

Hope this helps!
