Question

hydroelectric power plants also use force to transfer energy to a turbine to make electric energy (electricity). which answer best describes this process? gravity moves water downhill. the moving water has potential energy. it is transformed into electric energy. wind moves water downhill. the moving water has potential energy. it is transformed into electric energy. gravity moves water downhill. the moving water has kinetic energy. it is transformed into electric energy. wind moves water downhill. the moving water has kinetic energy. it is transformed into electric energy.

Explanation:

In hydroelectric power - plants, gravity causes water to move downhill. The moving water has kinetic energy which is then transformed into electric energy. Wind is not involved in this process, and the water in motion has kinetic, not potential, energy during the downhill movement.

Answer:

Gravity moves water downhill. The moving water has kinetic energy. It is transformed into electric energy.
