Is a windmill kinetic or potential energy?
do windmills consist of kinetic and potential energy
Is a windmill gravitational energy?
no -- the windmill converts the kinetic energy from wind to electrical energy. Gravitational energy is another term for potential energy.
What energy transformation occurs in a windmill used to generate electricity?
kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy
What kind of energy of wind turns the blades of a windmill?
The kinetic energy of the air molecules in the 'wind' is transferred to the blades of the windmill as kinetic energy of the moving blades of the windmill.
How do windmill collect energy?
The wind turbine/windmill has a generator inside of it, which converts the wind into energy!

When a windmill brings water up from the bottom of a well kinetic energy is transformed into?
Into potential energy.
What energy transformation occurs in a windmill used to generate electricity?
kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy
Windmill is an example of what kind of energy transformation?
Gravitational potential energy being converted to kinetic energy
How much energy does a windmill make?
Depends what windmill it is.
What is the transfer of energy usually caused by wind?
The wind is an example of kinetic energy - the energy of motion. It is generally transferred as kinetic erergy to, say, a windmill where it could pump water and the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.
What kind of energy of wind turns the blades of a windmill?
The kinetic energy of the air molecules in the 'wind' is transferred to the blades of the windmill as kinetic energy of the moving blades of the windmill.
How do windmill collect energy?

How much does the wind speed affect a windmill?
Wind speed effects how much energy a windmill produces. The faster the windmill goes, the more energy it produces.
How is a windmill useful?
For energy
Is wind blowing the vanes of a windmill chemical energy?
No; when wind blows the blades of a windmill, that's mechanical energy.
