Yes. Whenever energy is wasted through friction, most of this wasted energy is converted to heat.
It can convert in several different ways; one common way is through friction.
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 is one way
Loss of energy. Any way friction is a necessary evil
Perpetual motion would only fit the principle of the conservation of energy if it was a machine that moved that did not have any friction or produce any sound or produce any form of heat or energy that could be lost in any way. Since no such machine is possible to create, as far as we know, perpetual motion is declared an impossibility and does NOT fit the principle of the conservation of energy. Energy will undoubtedly be lost somewhere in a moving system.
Friction would be the easiest way.

Kinetic energy becomes heat by way of the friction caused by braking.

One way is if an object has, or is given energy. For example, if you turn a lamp on and leave it, it starts to get hot from the energy being given to it
Burn a fossil fuel like coal or oil, or use uranium in a nuclear reactor
Thermal energy, or heat energy, is a form of energy and a way that heat transfers energy from hot objects to cold objects.
One way to tell if friction is happening is if there is heat. Friction occurs when two things rub against each other, and this generates heat. Another way to tell is if the items are becoming chafed.
When an object rubs against another, or something opposes force, it creates friction, hich is excess heat energy. in a way, friction just wastes energy, but without it, many objects would never stop moving.
