  1. A generator transforms mechanical energy into electricity, by spinning a magnet in a coil.
  2. The regenerative braking system in hybrid cars similarly transforms the braking mechanical energy into electricity.

There are 2 types of kinetic energies:

1. Translational KE

2. Rotational KE

Simply throw the object, and it will get translational KE. Spin the object, it will get rotational KE. You can also throw an object an also spin it simultaneously. In that case it will possess both kinetic energies.

A cricket ball thrown by a spinner bowler possesses both types of kinetic energies, since the ball is spinning as well as translating forward.
