Flowing water can rotate a turbine. Which type of energy is used up by the turbine?

To rotate a turbine, the kinetic energy of flowing water is used.

Explanation

Kinetic Energy is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. 

Example - Flowing of water, Walking & Running, Flying Airplane, Bullet From a Gun.

The SI Unit of kinetic energy is Joule (J).

The formula of Kinetic Energy is given as-

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}$,  where, m = mass, and v = velocity
