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.
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.
On a day when the air is still a windmill still possesses what type of energy?
On a day when the air is still, a windmill would have potential energy stored in its structure. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the wind blows and makes the windmill blades turn.
What energy transformation occurs in a windmill used to generate electricity?
kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy
Does a windmills uses potential or kinetic engery?
Windmills use kinetic energy from the moving air to generate electricity. The wind turns the blades of the windmill, which in turn spin a generator to produce electricity. Potential energy is not directly used in this process.

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

What energy transformation occurs in a windmill used to generate electricity?
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 windmills uses potential or kinetic engery?
Windmills use kinetic energy from the moving air to generate electricity. The wind turns the blades of the windmill, which in turn spin a generator to produce electricity. Potential energy is not directly used in this process.
What kind of energy of wind turns the blades of a windmill?
The kinetic energy of the moving air (wind) is converted into mechanical energy, which then turns the blades of a windmill. This mechanical energy is further converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the windmill.
Does a windmill use kinetic energy?
Yes, a windmill uses the kinetic energy of the wind to spin its blades, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. The kinetic energy of the wind is converted into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy through this process.
How are potential and kinetic energy related?
Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic energy.
What type of energy does a windmill have?
it has kenetic energy
