Question
the process of generating electricity from dams and nuclear power plants is very different, but some of the energy transformations are the same. which energy transformations occur in both dams and nuclear power plants? check all that apply. kinetic energy to mechanical energy nuclear energy to thermal energy mechanical energy to electrical energy thermal energy to electrical energy
In dams, water's kinetic energy turns turbines (kinetic - mechanical), and then mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy. In nuclear power plants, nuclear energy first converts to thermal energy, then to mechanical energy to turn turbines, and finally to electrical energy. The common energy transformation is mechanical energy to electrical energy.
