Nuclear energy transforms to thermal energy (through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy (eg produces steam that drives steam turbines). The kinetic energy transforms into electric energy (through electric generators).
Molecular kinetic energy, which we refer to as heat OR thermal energy.
That big old tree was just waiting to fall down: that's potential energy. Now those big branches are falling down fast on your head: that's kinetic energy.
Ex: Light BulbElectric Energy → Radiant (Light) Energy → Thermal (Heat) Energy
Kinetic energy is a energy through movement. When some thing moves, it is kinetic energy.
yup
A vehicals brakes convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction and dissipate the thermal energy into the atmosphere
Nuclear energy transforms to thermal energy (through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy (eg produces steam that drives steam turbines). The kinetic energy transforms into electric energy (through electric generators).
Kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy through friction. When a moving object is stopped by some sort of friction, the decrease in the object's kinetic energy is converted into equal amounts of thermal energy. Considering the Law of Conservation of Energy states that the energy in a closed system remains constant, it is impossible that the kinetic energy of an object could be lost altogether, so rather it is simply transformed into a different type of energy, thermal energy.
No, thermal energy is the last form of energy degradation. All energy will eventually transformed to thermal energy. Even the motion of wave (kinetic energy) would eventually loss through shear and friction and transformed to thermal energy.

Energy has many different forms. A few of the most commonly thought of forms are electricity, thermal, and kinetic. Thermal Energy is energy expressed through a changing (usually upwards) in the temperature as heat.
Through energy conversions -KE-Thermal energy -KE-Potential E -KE-Chemical E -KE-Light E Through friction
Kinetic energy: Through organisms moving Thermal energy: To keep a boy warm Chemical energy: Through digesting different foods/water/oxygen
Energy can basically be divided in two groups: thermal and nonthermal.In principle nonthermal energy can be transformed 100 % in to any other kind ofnonthermal energy or thermal energy.For the case of thermal energy only a part of it can be transformed into a nonthermal energy through a 'Heat Engine' according to thermodynamics 2nd law.Example of a nonthermal energy is mechanical energy of which potential energy ( owed to the position of a body in a gravity field, or given to a body by a spring orsomething similar), and kinetic energy of a macroscopic body ( molecules kinetic energy in gases and liquids are not included here, they are part of the body's thermal energy) belong to it.
The ability to do work is called energy. Energy exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical, and can be converted from one form to another.
