One example would be in a hot air balloon. Heat is used to raise the balloon and the higher the balloon gets, the more gravitational potential energy it gets.

Thermal gravitational gravitational potential kinetic potential sound and mechanical energy is found in a saxophone?
thermal and gravitational and gravitational potential and kinetic and poential and sound and mechanical energy is found in a saxaphone.
How can Gravitational Potential energy be transformed?
If a body with gravitational potential energy is allowed to fall, then the potential energy is converted (mostly) to kinetic energy.
Is nuclear energy thermal energy or potential?
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
What is an example of gravitational energy transforming to mechanical energy?
Gravitational potential energy IS mechanical energy. Mechanical energy includes both kinetic energy, and potential energy.When an object falls, gravitational potential energy will be converted to KINETIC energy.
What is the relationship between potential energy and thermal energy?
Hold a rock in the air ... it has potential energy. Drop it ... the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. It hits the ground and stop ... the kinetic energy will be converted into thermal energy. Note that the total energy in each case is the same.

When you burn a fossil fuel what is the potential energy converted to?
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.
How can Kenetic energy be affected by Gravitational potential energy?
Not directly; the two are independent. But if an object with gravitational potential energy falls, that energy may be converted to kinetic energy.

Does speed affect gravitational potential energy of an object?
Does speed 'effect' the gravitational potential energy of an object? No, but gravitational potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy - so the gravitational potential energy can effect the speed. Ep = mgh Energy Potential = mass * 9.81 (gravity) * height Speed / Velocity is absent from that equation.
The mechanical energy of a coconut falling from a tree A. gravitational potential energy B. Chemical potential enregy C. thermal energy D. mechnaical energy?
Objects that can fall have a gravitational potential energy! so the answer is A.
What energy does an apple hanging from a tree have?
chemical energy
When fossil fuels are burned their chemical potential energy is converted into?
thermal energy.
