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

∙ 15y agoFriction, generally. If a car has kinetic energy it is moving, but it will not keep moving forever. it slows down because of friction, and the kinetic energy is dissipated as heat energy on the roads. Hope that helps lm 92

∙ 11y agoProbably the best example of the conversion of kinetic energy to heat energy is applying the brakes on a car.
>> The car which is moving, has kinetic energy.
>> As you hit the brakes to slow it down, the brake pads and drums get warmer ... heat energy.
>> The tires slow down and start 'micro skidding' against the road, also getting warmer from friction ... more heat energy.

the two particles rubbing together causes friction which is turned into heat :P
