Typically the force here is friction. As the object moves through some medium friction is generated between the particles of the object and the particles of the medium, converting kinetic energy into thermal energy.

To convert thermal energy into mechanical energy you
need a heat engine, open or closed cycle.
Different types of heat engines:
Power Plants.
Internal Combustion engines.
Old train steam engines.
Gas turbine engines.
Rocket Engines.
In nature:
An exploding volcano.
Wind, sea waves and sea currents kinetic energy comes
from the sun's thermal radiation that hits the Earth.

When an object falls and touches ground the kinetic energy transforms to which energy?
Heat, sound and more kinetic energy as things are moved by the impact of the object.
When an object loses kinetic energy due to a force of kinetic friction is the loss of kinetic energy transformed primarily into potential or thermal energy?
Kinetic friction is associated with thermal energy (and sound or light).
When a vehicle is slowing down what changes its momentum and kinetic energy as force of brakes is an internal force?
Brakes absorb the kinetic energy in the form of heat and sometimes sound. When hot enough brakes can emit light.
What is kinetic energy loss?
The braking force x stopping distance (assuming constant braking force) is equal to the loss of kinetic energy of the vehicle.And if it's not constant, you can integrate the dot product of the force vector and the differential x-vector.If you want the power of heat generation, you will need to find how much energy is being dissipated (i.e. how much kinetic energy is lost) per unit of time.
Why the inter-particle space increases on heating a solid at its melting point?
when we heat a substance its kinetic energy increases and due to this kinetic energy the force of attraction decreases and can no longer hold the particles together.
Describe the role of energy transformation in the production of electricity?
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.
How does chemical transforms to kinetic?
Chemical energy usually transforms to heat energy. Heat energy causes expansion of materials, producing kinetic energy. In some cases, chemical energy may cause a direct expansion of a material, producing movement (kinetic energy) but the heat stage is usually present. Gun powder, dynamite and gasoline all are chemical-heat-mechanical.
How energy transformations that occur in a toaster different from those in an electric fan?
The oven is designed to transform the electrical energy into heat energy The fan is designed to transform the electrical energy into kinetic energy.
When an object falls and touches ground the kinetic energy transforms to which energy?
Heat, sound and more kinetic energy as things are moved by the impact of the object.
What is themal energy?
Thermal energy turn to kinetic energy
How is conduction used in automotive technology?
It transforms potential energy into kinetic energy by moving one heat transfer to another in different locations of the vehicle.
When an object loses kinetic energy due to a force of kinetic friction is the loss of kinetic energy transformed primarily into potential or thermal energy?
Kinetic friction is associated with thermal energy (and sound or light).
Can heat be a form of kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the movement energy of an object hence heat is a form of Kinetic energy.
Why is heat called the graveyard of kinetic energy?
Heat is referred to as the graveyard of kinetic energy in that once kinetic energy has been transformed into heat, it is no longer usable.
Can heat be completely transformed to kinetic energy?
No heat can not be transformed to kinetic energy.
Why is heat energy linked with kinetic energy?
It is linked because heat is the total potential and kinetic energy of an object, so as kinetic energy increases, heat increases.
How heat energy transforms into chemical energy?
Burning release heat, for example.
