Windmills are used to convert wind energy into a more useful form. In most cases, there are three

steps in the process. The energy is in a different form at each step. Which of the following flowcharts

shows the most likely order of the energy changes?

edit: Sorry lovelies! Here are the flow charts!

wind energy - - - > mechanical energy - - - > solar energy

wind energy - - - > thermal energy - - - > mechanical energy

wind energy - - - > solar energy - - - > electrical energy

wind energy - - - > mechanical energy - - - > electrical energy

Clare Walls · Answer 1

The kinetic energy of the wind = = > causes = = >

the windmill to turn (mechanical energy) = = >

which is used to turn an electric generator = = >

which generates electrical energy.
