when any object changes its elevation from the ground the potential energy is transferred negatively or positively into kinetic energy such that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy remains constant. For example, if a ball falls down from a height above ground. Its starting kinetic energy is zero while the potential energy is maximum. the closer it comes to ground, the less is the potential energy and the greater is the kinetic energy. The same happens in water falls.
um OK this is not really an answer but it might help. people use the sun and water and wind because it doesn't hurt the environment. it is renewable energy.
it is all about greek mythology and the sun being all powerful. so scientists stuck with it.
wind turbine/electric generator/batteryType your answer here...
It can power the water cycle and evaporate the water and stuff. No idea about wind.
When the object is moved, even a tiny bit.
The law says that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another.... And energy always from higher potential to lower potential... Since hotter object is at high potential and cooler object at lower potential, the heat energy will flow from hotter to cooler object.
Human get tired and sleepy as chemical potential energy in our body is transferred to other forms of energy(kinetic energy when moving).Hence, the chemical potential energy gets used up and you get tired and to restore this energy u will need food:).
The mechanical energy is stored in the spring as potential energy within the pullback toy and when you release it, it gets converted into kinetic energy. Hence cycle is Mechanical --- Spring (Potential)--- Kinetic
Three examples:1) Anything falling under gravity. Gravitational potential energy is being transferred into kinetic energy, i.e. speed.2) In a turbine. Moving the rotors round on a turbine turns kinetic into electric energy.3) Electric cooking hobs. The electrical energy is dissipated to release thermal energy (heats up).
Wind energy is transferred by wind mills.
energy transferred = charge x potential difference.
Those energy that are not transferred to ATP loss as heat.
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.
Mechanical or Kinetic energy transferred to electrical energy.
heat
This is the potential energy.
Wind is a form of kinetic energy. It can be called "Wind energy".
electrical energy
When you lift an object, the energy transferred to the object is called gravitational potential energy.
Kinetic energy in wind is used.This energyis transformed into electricity
Potential energy
