The device that transforms from elastic energy to kinetic energy is a spring-loaded mechanism. When you compress or stretch a spring, it stores potential energy in the form of elastic energy. When you release the spring, this stored elastic energy is transformed into kinetic energy as the spring returns to its original shape and moves with velocity. This principle is commonly utilized in various devices such as spring-powered toys, mechanical watches, and even some types of firearms where a spring is used to propel a projectile.
A bungee jumper does this when he (she) reaches max speed and hence max kinetic energy and then this energy is all absorbed in the elastic bungee, until eventually the kinetic energy is reduced to zero.
If an elastic is compressed, it has potential energy, then if it is let go that will be released and turned to kinetic energy. Hence the catapult.
Springs and rubber bands are great for storing elastic energy,
and for delivering it when it's needed, at any selected rate.
A spring, or an elastic catapult
Rubber bands are good examples.
kinetic and elastic potential energy
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).
Yes because in a catapult the potential energy in a stretched piece of elastic is transferred to a stone as kinetic energy. The potential energy came from the user who stretched the elastic
Certainly. That's exactly what happens when you fall into the middle of a trampoline. As the stretchy fabric absorbs your kinetic energy, you slow down, and you eventually stop when all of your kinetic energy is stored in the trampoline as elastic energy. Then the elastic energy transfers back and becomes your kinetic energy, as you go sailing again.

kinetic and elastic potential energy
Elastic cars work by converting elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. The most potential energy, the more kinetic energy.
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.

Heat energy (as steam or hot gas) transforms to kinetic energy through the turbine. The kinetic energy transforms into electricity through the rotor of the electric generator.
no
It is a form of potential energy. It turns in Kinetic energy (the energy of movement) when the elastic is released.
A rock on top of a hill has potential energy, not kinetic energy. If it starts rolling down the hill then the potential energy transforms to kinetic energy.
