A team of engineers is working with a wind turbine. The team is working with a model and testing different angles for the blade of the wind turbine. What would the research question be for this team? (1 point)

Question

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

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

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

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

Answer 1

The most appropriate research question for the team of engineers testing different angles for the blade of the wind turbine 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 (kinetic energy) to energy that can be harnessed by the turbine, which is the primary goal of optimizing the blade angles.
