∙ 8y agoThe windmill itself is neither potential or kinetic energy, it is a machine/building.
The machine which is a windmill uses the kinetic energy of the wind to operate.

Is a windmill gravitational energy?
no -- the windmill converts the kinetic energy from wind to electrical energy. Gravitational energy is another term for potential energy.
What energy transformation occurs in a windmill used to generate electricity?
kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy
Does a windmill use kinetic energy?
Yes it is kinetic energy.
What kind of energy of wind turns the blades of a windmill?
The kinetic energy of the air molecules in the 'wind' is transferred to the blades of the windmill as kinetic energy of the moving blades of the windmill.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy

When a windmill brings water up from the bottom of a well kinetic energy is transformed into?
Into potential energy.

kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy
Windmill is an example of what kind of energy transformation?
Gravitational potential energy being converted to kinetic energy
What is the transfer of energy usually caused by wind?
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.
Does a windmill use kinetic energy?
Yes it is kinetic energy.

Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
What are the two main forms of energy?
The two main forms of energy are Kinetic energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is motion energy. Potential energy is energy stored in matter.
An avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
What is the total kinetic energy and potential energy?
It is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
What type of energy does a windmill have?
it has kenetic energy
