A meteor falling to earth heats ups in flames. Its goes so fast that it catches on fire!
Friction causes mechanical energy to be transformed into heat energy.
No heat can not be transformed to kinetic energy.
The fission energy is transformed in heat and heat is transformed in electricity.
Energy transformation can be detected by changes such as a change in temperature, motion, sound, or light in a system. For example, in a light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into light and heat energy. In a moving car, mechanical energy from the engine is transformed into kinetic energy.
There are lots of other types of energy, e.g. sound energy, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, heat energy, etc.
Thermal energy is heat energy. Thus any energy change involving heat would fit this description, for example heat being applied to a pot of water is transformed into kinetic energy in the escaping steam.
An example of converting gravitational energy into thermal energy is when a meteor enters Earth's atmosphere. As the meteor falls, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Upon impact with the Earth's surface, this kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, generating intense heat that vaporizes the meteor and surrounding materials.
An example of thermal energy being transformed into sound energy is when a heated metal object, such as a kettle on a stove, produces a whistling sound when the water inside reaches boiling point. The heat causes the metal to expand and vibrate, creating sound waves that we hear as a whistle.
Solar energy is transformed into electrical energy in solar panels. Chemical energy in food is transformed into kinetic energy in our bodies. Wind energy is transformed into electrical energy in wind turbines. Mechanical energy in a moving car is transformed into electrical energy through regenerative braking. Nuclear energy is transformed into thermal energy in a nuclear power plant to generate electricity.
When a light bulb is turned on, electrical energy is transformed into light and heat energy.
When getting ready for school, electrical energy from a hairdryer is transformed into heat energy to dry your hair.
Electrical energy is transformed into heat energy by the coils inside and kinetic energy by the fan inside.
