Question

2. Find an example of potential energy being converted to kinetic/mechanical energy.

Answer 1

@E.ali you there?

Answer 2

Yea !;)
When water go down from your glass !

Answer 3

Thanks, I just need some help I'm doing a science assignment

Answer 4

Of when you in the top of the mount water come down and we tell this waterfall :)
And no prob :)
I wish can help you ... :)

Answer 5

Do you have any questions ?;)

Can you explain the answer for me so I understand how to explain it?

Answer 10

I need help

Answer 11

Help?

Answer 12

Can you help me @sid123

Answer 13

suppose u are standing near of a damp .u looks to the water and think that it is stable and has no energy ..............
but when it breaks it can destroy many things.
question arises if energy is conserved then how u get it ..
so we imagine it have already an energy called potential due to its any position

Answer 14

Um can you explain that so I understand?

Answer 15

ok point1.... when water is in damp it has an height from ground
point2...if u want to climb the damp u have to do work so it has an potential energy
point3... if it breaks height decreases and energy changes to kinetic which can use as ...............

Answer 16

Hydroelectric power plant is one example of potential energy that is first converted to kinetic or mechanical energy which eventually gets converted to electrical energy.

The water at a height, such as the Niagara Falls, has potential energy. When the water falls down it can turn a water turbine. So the potential energy of the water is being converted to mechanical energy with the turbine spinning. The mechanical energy of the turbine then gets converted to electrical energy because the turbine drives an electric generator. Hence the term "hydroelectric." “Hydro” meaning water that is being used to generate electricity.
