How does running water make electricity?
Moving water can be used to produce energy because potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy. Stored water is converted into kinetic energy. As the water travels, it is converted into electrical energy thus being used for electricity.
Some of the sun's is converted into wind and water waves-?
Some of the sun's energy is converted into wind and water waves. Most of the sun's energy are absorbed by the primary producers.
What is the energy of water converted to electricity?
It is kinetic energy.
What is the energy of moving water converted to electricity?
It is kinetic energy.
What energy transfers generate electricity in the dam's staction?
The water's potential energy is converted into mechanical energy (movement); this is then converted to electricity.
Does freezing gain thermal energy?
Yes. When ice is converted to water, thermal energy is required. When the water is converted back to ice, the same amount of thermal energy is released.
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
What is potential energy converted into as water runs over a waterfall?
Kinetic energy
What energy transformation accurs to a water fall?
Gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy of the fall. Some of that is then converted to heat which helps water to evaporate and to slightly increase the water temperature at the foot of the fall, some is converted to the noise of the waterfall, some is used to erode rocks at the foot of the fall.
Is photosynthesis a physical change?
No, photosynthesis is a chemical change by which water and carbon dioxide are converted into oxygen and carbohydrates.There is an energy transformation. Light energy is converted to chemical energy
When light energy is absorbed by an object the energy is converted to?
atmosphere, land and water Also Thermal Energy!
Water stored behind a dam is an example of what type of energy?
Water stored behind a dam is an example of potential energy (energy of position). As the water flows through the dam, some of the water's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion), which is typically further converted into electrical energy through the use of spinning magnets and coils of wire.
