How does falling water transfer from potential energy to electrical energy?
The water in a reservoir or lake, at a higher level than the water turbine, has potential energy. When released to flow down to the turbine it gains kinetic energy due to the movement of mass, then this is turned to mechanical energy in the turbine and finally to electrical energy in the generator
An unlit firecracker does it have potential energy?
Yes. Chemical potential energy. When you light it most (nothing is 100% efficient) of the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
What absorption of wave energy?
when there is a wave,there is gravitational potential energy,which is converted to kinetic energy,when the water hits the turbine,it creates electrical energy.
What are some examples of energy conversions from potential to kinetic?
In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
What things use gravitational potential energy?
The medieval war machine the trebuchet uses gravitational potential energy to hurl rocks. Hydroelectric dams use the gravitational potential of water to convert to kinetic energy to drive a turbine and create electricity.

Is a wind turbine energy efficient?
YES But only if you don't consider the massive amounts of energy required to make the wind turbine and get it into position. The actual energy conversion from wind to electricity is not great but it is free.
What are the energy transformations in a power plant?
The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy
What are the energy transformations in hydro power plants?
The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy

Where turbine is located?
Turbines are attache to either alternator or generator which converts mechanical energy to electric energy. Turbines convert the kinetic energy into mechanical energy. (Eg. steam turbine is a prime-mover in which te potential energy of the steam is transformed into kinetic energy and latter in its turn is transformed into the mechanical energy of the rotation of the turbine shaft)
What are the other uses of potential energy?
it is used in generating electricity when water is raised to a height to make it fall on a turbine it is having potential energy stored in it.It has many other forms as elastic ,gravitational,vibrational potential energy.
What energy transformation in hydroelectric power plant?
Potential energy of the water in the reservoir changes to kinetic energy as it is forced through the turbine. The blades of turbine represent mechanical energy, spinning the turbine generator which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy due to the nature of the generator.Generators use electromagnetic induction turbines, which at its basic level is rotating a wire within a magnetic field, this generating electricity.Source(s):Engineering geologist
Waterfall is what kind of energy?
hydro thermal or gravitational hydro where the water is evaporated and the steam pushes a turbine that creates energy. gravitational where the water falling hits and turns a turbine that creates energy
