Question

Responses

Energy changes from potential to kinetic to electric.
Energy changes from potential to kinetic to electric.

Energy changes from potential to electric to kinetic.
Energy changes from potential to electric to kinetic.

Energy changes from kinetic to electric to potential.
Energy changes from kinetic to electric to potential.

Energy changes from kinetic to potential to electric.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: Energy changes from potential to kinetic to electric.

This describes the process accurately: water at the height of the dam has potential energy, which converts to kinetic energy as it flows down, and then this kinetic energy is transformed into electrical energy through turbines.
