Answer 1

The appropriate research question for the team would be:

Which angle converts the largest percentage of kinetic energy from the wind into kinetic energy of the turbine?

This question focuses on the conversion of wind energy into mechanical energy, which is the primary purpose of wind turbine blades. The other options regarding potential energy do not apply in the context of wind energy, as wind is primarily a source of kinetic energy.
