There are two kinds of collision - elastic and inelastic. In an elastic collision, all the kinetic energy remains kinetic, though it might be transferred between objects in the collision. So the initially moving object could bounce back with the hit object staying in place, or the hit object might move and the initially moving object might stop. Or it might be a mix of both.
Not only things that you think of as elastic have elastic collisions. Very hard things sometimes tend to have elastic collisions too. Not only rubber balls but also billiard balls and baseballs tend to have elastic collisions.
The other type of collision is an inelastic collision. Some of the energy can remain in a kinetic form. The rest is converted to heat, sound, and breaking or deformation of the colliding objects.
Most of the mechanical (or kinetic) energy is converted to heat.
Yes, it can be converted into another kind of Energy. Example: The chemical energy of petroleum is converted to mechanical energy in a car engine with some loss as heat and sound energy. The mechanical energy is converted to kinetic energy.
A steam engine would be one example, a motor car engine would be another.
potential, there isnt another way besides that
light energy
mechanical energy
chemical energy
Chemical energy into mechanical energy
when one car hits another car
Mechanical Energy
What does potential energy mean.
The energy stored in a car battery, or other cells or batteries, is chemical energy.
