Simone created a chart to summarize the energy transformations that take place when energy from the wind is used to generate electricity. Which best completes the chart?

a) nuclear energy transformed to electrical energy

b) chemical energy transformed to electrical energy

c) radiant energy transformed to mechanical energy

d) kinetic energy transformed to mechanical energy

d) kinetic energy transformed to mechanical energy

Explanation:

Wind energy comes from its movement, so kinetic energy

Em = K = ½ m v²2

This energy spins the mill aspadle that this movement of the rotor within a magnetic field creates electricity in accordance with Faraday's law.

Consequently, from the above we should make a graph of the wind speed (kinetic energy) according to the electricity produced

The correct answer is d
