What is one situation where gravitational potential energy might be useful?
For example, in a hydroelectric power plant, where it is converted into electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric power plant, where it is converted into electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric power plant, where it is converted into electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric power plant, where it is converted into electricity.
Were is wind energy stored and converted into usable energy?
The wind energy cannot be stored.
How is coal converted into usable energy?
it is formed by being burned which causes heat, which can also be converted into motion energy.
Is usable energy lost each time energy is converted to another form of energy?
Yes.
In hydroelectric power plants the energy from moving water is converted into electric power. What kind of energy transformation occurs when the energy is converted?
mechanical to electrical
Can hydroelectric be converted into heat?
Every energy conversion process produces heat because of frictional forces. This is why no source of energy can be 100% converted into usable energy. But for your purpose I assume a simple yes would work. Many power plants rely on hydroelectric processes to produce energy. This energy travels to a community where it can be harvested for heat.
How is hydroelectric power is a usable energy?
hydroelectric power is an important for producing the power in the low loss of energy..energy is nothing but producing the power....so we can easily produce the power from hydroelectric power plant.

What form of energy is stored in the water in a hydroelectric plant?
Electricity isn't stored in the water, but rather electricity is generated from the waters motions. The laminar flow of the water rotates turbines, which generate kinetic energy. Which is then converted to electrical energy usable by us, the consumer
Is efficiency the same thing as how much energy gets converted to electricity?
no, its how much energy gets converted to usable work.
Is usable energy lost each time energy is converted to another form of energy?
Yes.

mechanical to electrical
What energy is being converted when the sun gives energy to solar panels?
Anywhere from 10-23% of sunlight is converted into "usable" electricity.
The energy of moving water converted to electricity is called?
hydro, or hydroelectric power.
What is a solar plant?
it is a place where energy from the sun is converted to energy that is usable for powering almost everything
