One is a weight on an elastic string, bobbing up and down. Each down/up involves potential-kinetic-elastic-kinetic-potential conversions.
A transfer would also include placing a heavy weight on a spring-loaded platform. The reduced gravitational potential of the weight is stored as compression energy in the spring, which will rebound if the weight is removed.

∙ 15y agoI'm quite sure that any type of energy can be changed into any other type of energy, like in a nuclear reactor for example: water is heated (thermal energy) steam turns a turbine (kinetic energy), so the thermal energy has been converted into kinetic energy. I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but I'm quite sure this is right :-)

What type of energy is kinetic and potential?
Kinetic and potential energy are types of mechanical energy.
Can objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
Execute a swan dive would be kinetic energy or potential energy?
Potential energy
Differentiate kinetic energy from potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy something has because it is moving. Potential energy is the energy something has because of its position or configuration.
What type of energy is stored in thermal energy-kinetic or potential energy?
It consist both, the kinetic as well as potential energy. Justification: As per potential energy formula mgh m-mass in kg g- Acceleration due to gravity h - Height if any of the above parameters does not have zero value then their should be a potential energy. Kinetic energy does exist.
As rocket rises its kinetic energy changes at the time the rocket reaches its highest point most of the kinetic energy in the rocket has been?
Most of the kinetic energy will have turned into potential energy - all of it, if there is no friction.Most of the kinetic energy will have turned into potential energy - all of it, if there is no friction.Most of the kinetic energy will have turned into potential energy - all of it, if there is no friction.Most of the kinetic energy will have turned into potential energy - all of it, if there is no friction.
Is hydroeletric energy kinetic or potential?
Potential energy (turned into kinetic energy to drive the turbines), (turned into electrical energy by the turbines). Note the original source of this energy is the Sun (nuclear fusion).
How can stored energy change into active moving energy?
Stored energy can change into moving energy by transfering energy from potential energy to kinetic energy
What situation does not involve Potential energy being changed into kinetic energy?
1) Kinetic energy being turned back into potential energy. Look at a child on a swing. As the swing lowers (and they speed up), that's potential to kinetic. As the swing reaches its peak and stops, that kinetic to potential. 2) Burning is chemical energy being turned into heat and light. 3) In the Sun, nuclear fusion releases energy into heat and light.
What form of energy does a descending roller coaster car?
Potential energy being turned into kinetic energy
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
What 3 kinds of energy are involved when a light bulb is turned on?
kinetic,potential,light energy
What are the two main forms of energy?
The two main forms of energy are Kinetic energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is motion energy. Potential energy is energy stored in matter.
An avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
What is the total kinetic energy and potential energy?
It is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
What are the two basic types of energy?
There are two main types of energy which is kinetic and potential energy.. Kinetic energy is an energy associated with motion.. while the potential energy is an energy stored with the position of an object, or its chemical composition.
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?
Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
