Question

using potential and kinetic energy quick check
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)
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?
which angle converts the largest percentage of potential energy from the wind into potential energy of the turbine?

Explanation:

Wind has kinetic energy (energy of motion). The turbine's job is to convert this kinetic energy from the wind into kinetic energy of the turbine (rotational motion). So the research question should be about converting wind's kinetic energy to turbine's kinetic energy.

Answer:

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