Question

part 2: exploring energy transfer directions: set up your system as shown in each picture. let it run for a while and then complete the sentence using the energy symbols to help you “see” the flow of the energy within each system. hint: make sure the energy symbols box remains on. use the color of the “e” boxes to know what form the energy is. 9. turbine moved by medium water flow from faucet with a water heater system in this system, kinetic __________ energy from the moving water of the faucet turns the turbine. the ________ energy of the spinning turbine generates ________ energy which is transformed into ________ energy that causes the temperature of the water to increase. the water then becomes steam and gives off more __________ energy into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify first - energy transfer

The moving water has kinetic energy which turns the turbine.

Step2: Energy of spinning turbine

The spinning turbine has kinetic energy.

Step3: Energy generation by turbine

The kinetic energy of the spinning turbine generates electrical energy.

Step4: Energy transformation for heating

The electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy to heat the water.

Step5: Energy release as steam

When water becomes steam, it gives off thermal energy into the atmosphere.

Answer:

kinetic; kinetic; electrical; thermal; thermal
