Answer 1

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a gravitational field, energy possessed by an object is known as gravitational potential energy.

Whereas kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion is known as kinetic energy.

Therefore, out of the given options description of water flowing downhill and spinning turbines is an example of gravitational potential energy transforming into kinetic energy.

Answer 2
