Did wind possesses both kinetic and potential energy?
Blowing wind has kinetic energy. This can be transformed into electrical energy using a turbine to transform the wind into rotational kinetic energy and a generator or alternator to convert the rotational kinetic energy to electrical energy. Water above a dam has potential energy from gravity and also from the weight of the water around it. Once it is moving or flowing down through the pipes it then has kinetic energy.
What is a turbine?
A device used to turn kinetic energy into electricity
When does potential energy equal kinetic energy?
well kinetic energy is when some thing is moving and potential energy is the highest point so think of it this way a boy siting in his chair sitting still and a girl standing up jog in place the girl has potential and kinetic
What source does kinetic energy come from?
Motion. The motion can be energized by virtually any source of energy.
When high velocity water strikes turbine blades kinetic energy is converted to what energy?
The answer was potential energy, which surely is wrong. The energy generated is, self evidently, mechanical energy. This can then be used directly or indirectly to generate other forms of energy, typically water flow is converted directly into mechanical then pure electrical energy in a generator turbine, as at a Hydroelectric power station.

How does Kinetic Energy turn a turbine?
That's actually quite simple: Kinetic energy is movement energy, so the movement is simply transferred to a turbine.
What is inside a wind turbine?
A wind turbine generates electricity by converting its kinetic energy into electric energy. The kinetic energy of the wind transfers to the turbine, and the kinetic energy of the turbine converts to electric energy as it spins within an electromagnetic field.
What kind of energy does a wind turbine convert?
kinetic energy
Comparison between impulse and reaction turbines?
in the case of impule turbine total energy at inlet is kinetic energy and in case reaction turbine energy at inlet is kinetic and pressure......
What type of energy does a wind turbine converts into electrical energy?
Kinetic Energy
What does a wind turbine turn kinetic energy into?
Rotational energy, and then electrical energy.
Is a wind turbine kinetic?
Yes. It converts the kinetic(moving) energy in the wind to electricity.
What describes this energy transformation from the turning turbine to electricity?
kinetic energy into electric energy
Which type of energy is converted into electrical energy by a wind turbine?
Kinetic energy of wind
What energy transfers takes place when the turbine turn the generator?
kinetic energy is transfered to electric energy
Why do you use wind turbine?
Wind turbines utilize wind energy to convert it to usable electrical energy. Specifically, the kinetic energy of the air molecules spin a turbine within an electromagnetic field, the kinetic energy of the turbine is then converted to electrical energy due to the presence of the electromagnetic field.
What device changes the energy in high-pressure steam into kinetic energy?
A turbine.
