Question

practice it!
which of the following are examples of wind energy creating motion?
a child kicking a soccer ball.
a kite flying through the air
a wind turbine spinning
a car driving down the street
wind pushing a sail boat.

Explanation:

• A child kicking a soccer ball: The motion is created by the child's muscular energy, not wind energy.
• A kite flying through the air: Wind provides the force to lift and move the kite, so wind energy is creating motion.
• A wind turbine spinning: Wind turns the turbine blades, which is wind energy creating rotational motion.
• A car driving down the street: The car's motion is powered by fuel (e.g., gasoline or electricity from a battery, not wind energy).
• Wind pushing a sail boat: Wind acts on the sails to move the boat, so wind energy is creating motion.

Answer:

A kite flying through the air, A wind turbine spinning, Wind pushing a sail boat.
