Question

Study the scenario. A turbine spins as wind blows across it, generating electricity. The System consists of the wind, turbine, air, generator, and electrical wires. Which image and description best analyzes the flow of energy?

A.) The total energy of the system remains constant due to the law of conservation of energy.

B.) the total energy of the system increases because energy is gained during transformations.

C.) The total energy of the system remains constant due to the law of conservation of energy.

D.) The total energy of the system increases because energy is gained during transformations.

Answer 1

The total energy of the system remains constant due to the law of conservation of energy.

The diagram is the one that starts with "wind energy" and breaks up into "heat energy in the turbines and air" and "kinetic energy in moving the turbine"
