How much power in watts could you get out of the turbine with a potential energy of 19600 joules if it were perfectly efficient?
If the turbine were perfectly efficient, all of the potential energy of 19600 joules would be converted into mechanical energy. To convert this to power output in watts, you would divide the energy by the time taken for the conversion to occur. If the conversion happened in 10 seconds, the power output would be 1960 watts (19600 joules / 10 seconds).

Why Water is stored in a high reservoir to run a turbine why?
Water is stored in a high reservoir to create potential energy due to its elevation. When the water is released and flows down to run a turbine, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which turns the turbine to generate electricity. Storing water in a high reservoir allows for efficient energy production and control of electricity generation.
What form of energy does a moving turbine possess?
A moving turbine possesses mechanical energy, which is the sum of its kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (energy stored due to its position).
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
What piece of apparatus would you use to convert potential energy to kinetic energy to potential into electrical energy?
A turbine generator system is typically used to convert potential energy (such as water or wind) into kinetic energy which then drives the turbine to generate electricity. This process involves converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy using the generator.
Why the type of energy stored in water at the reservoir is different from the energy stored in water at the penstock and turbine hydrppower?
The energy stored in water at the reservoir is gravitational potential energy due to its height above the turbine. As the water flows through the penstock and turbine, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and then ultimately into mechanical energy to turn the turbine and generate electricity. So, the type of energy changes as the water moves through the components of a hydropower system.

What is the principal energy transfer as water flows from the upper basin through the turbine?
The principal energy transfer as water flows through the turbine is from the potential energy of the water at a higher elevation in the upper basin to mechanical energy as the turbine spins. The spinning turbine then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy through a generator.
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.
A hydropower reservoir is an example of what kind of potential energy?
A hydropower reservoir is an example of gravitational potential energy, where the stored water has the potential to produce electricity when it flows downhill through a turbine.
Where is there potential energy in a windmill?
Potential energy in a windmill is stored in the height of the blades above the ground. As the wind turns the blades, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy to rotate the turbine and generate electricity.
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
How do hydroelectric energy plants convert potential energy into kinetic energy?
Hydroelectric energy plants convert potential energy into kinetic energy by using falling water to turn the blades of a turbine. The force of the flowing water causes the turbine to spin, which drives a generator to produce electricity. This process is a form of mechanical energy conversion.
