Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)
What machine turns kinetic energy into electrical energy?
Dynamos and turbines. For example: a windmill converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electric energy.
What energy is converted when you push a magnet move through a wire?
Kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy.
Is hydroelectric energy is an example of using a kinetic energy?
Water is stored behind a dam and possesses potential energy. When it is released and made to run down conduits down the dam to turn turbines the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy which in turn is converted to electrical energy.
What does nuclear energy transform to?
Nuclear energy transforms to thermal energy (through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy (eg produces steam that drives steam turbines). The kinetic energy transforms into electric energy (through electric generators).
If A turbines kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy by a?
generator
How does hydropower transformed?
The potential energy of the falling down water transfers to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy turns turbines that are connected to electric generators where the kinetic energy transfers into electric energy.

how on heating a liquid at its boiling point heat energy converted to potential energy?
You are transferring the heat into the water and changing it into steam. Steam has potential energy that can be released by cooling and expansion. This potential energy is released either in heat or can be converted back to kinetic energy by its expansion. This is how power plants work. Some fuel is burned to heat water to steam. Which contains potential energy converted from the heat of the burning fuel. This potential energy releases heat and kinetic energy as it is allowed to expand pushing and driving the turbines that turn the electric generators, and thus the kinetic energy is, by way of the generator converted to electric energy.
When is gravitational energy converted into kinetic energy and then into a electrical current?
Hydro-electric powerplant
What energy changes in Bicycle Dynamo?
It converts mechanical energy into electric energy.
What kind of energy do windmills convert it is kinetic or potential?
The kinetic energy of the wind (moving mass of air) is (usually) converted into electric energy.
Wind turbines convert what energy into electrical energy?
The propellors are attached to a shaft that turns a gearbox that turns an electric motor that produces electricity. You need to study how an electric motor generator works. A regular electric motor turns when electric current is run through it. There are coils of wire wound a rotating armature that is placed between Magnets. An electric generator is made very similar. When the wire coils are rotated within the magnetic field, this produces electricity.

What are two types of energy that can be converted directly to electricity?
Solar energy (photovoltaics) and kinetic energy in an electric generator
