Interesting this should even be asked because NOT converting mechanical energy to heat seems to be the holy grail of engineering.
However, to answer the question, in a word; FRICTION
Your car brakes are a perfect example. When you apply the brakes you are using the FRICTION between two materials (brake pads and rotor or drum) to reduce the car's speed by converting it's momentum, i.e. mechanical energy, into lots of heat.
After just a few stops the rotors on your car will quickly and efficiently burn the $#!^ out of your fingers. I know this.

Is mechanical energy coming from light and heat?
Mechanical energy does not come directly from light and heat. Light and heat are forms of energy, but they do not typically convert into mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is typically associated with the motion or position of an object.
How is mechanical energy conserved?
It isn't. Sooner or later some mechanical energy will be wasted and converted to heat. It is also possible to convert other types of energy into mechanical energy.It isn't.

Can you convert mechanical energy to heat energy?
Absolutely a simple example is the engine.
How can you convert electrical energy to mechanical sound and heat energy?
To convert electrical energy to mechanical sound and heat energy, you can use an electric motor. The electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy by utilizing the magnetic field generated by the electric current flowing through a coil of wire. The mechanical energy produced can then be used to generate sound and heat energy through the movement and friction of components within the motor.
What is the use of steam engine?
To convert heat energy into mechanical work.
How do you convert heat energy into mechanical energy?
In a power plant, water is heated and evapourates, it flows through a turbine and turns it - this is mechanical energy.
What are the practical application Mechanical equivalent of heat?
The Mechanical Equivalent of Heat shows the relationship between mechanical work and heat energy. It has practical applications in the study of thermodynamics and energy conversion processes. For example, it helps in understanding how engines and other mechanical systems can convert heat energy into useful work.
