    Question

    By using a windmill, which energy is tapped to rotate wind turbines to drive generators?

    A.

    The sound energy of wind

    B.

    The heat energy of wind

    C.

    The kinetic energy of the moving wind

    D.

    The chemical energy of wind

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) The kinetic energy of the moving wind.
    · Windmills convert the kinetic energy of moving wind into mechanical energy, which is then used to rotate wind turbines.
    · These turbines drive generators to produce electricity.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · The sound energy of wind: Incorrect, as windmills do not use sound energy.
    · The heat energy of wind: Windmills do not tap into heat energy; they utilize the wind's motion.
    · The chemical energy of wind: There is no chemical energy in wind; it's primarily kinetic energy.
