I suppose you could convert kinetic energy into thermal energy via friction, i.e. a moving object could move along another object, causing friction, which would release thermal energy in the process. I cannot think of a more direct way. -Hazz
Friction, generally. If a car has kinetic energy it is moving, but it will not keep moving forever. it slows down because of friction, and the kinetic energy is dissipated as heat energy on the roads. Hope that helps lm 92
Probably the best example of the conversion of kinetic energy to heat energy is applying the brakes on a car.
>> The car which is moving, has kinetic energy.
>> As you hit the brakes to slow it down, the brake pads and drums get warmer ... heat energy.
>> The tires slow down and start 'micro skidding' against the road, also getting warmer from friction ... more heat energy.
Its causes by friction,
the two particles rubbing together causes friction which is turned into heat :P
That is what an electric motor does.
A thermocouple
A heat engine.

Friction converts kinetc energy into heat energy.
No, it converts electricic energy into electromagnetic energy (heat and light)
To heat.
A heat engine.
Heat Engine is the system that converts the Heat energy into mechanical work while Heat pump converts the work into heat
A heat engine
A heat engine is a system that converts heat to usable energy, particularly mechanical energy, which can then be used to do mechanical work
No, a heat engine is not a device that converts work into heat. It is the opposite, which means it is a device that converts heat into work.
Friction converts kinetc energy into heat energy.
