Hydroelectric converts kinetic energy to electrical energy by having the water drive a turbine generator.
Windmills do the same, except with air instead of water.
Solar cells could be thought of as converting kinetic energy to electrical energy. At it's simplest level, an electron is knocked off from an atom when a photon runs into this atom, this creates an electrical current in a solar cell. Not certain if this can be considered kinetic energy since the mass of a photon is 0.
StirlingEnergy makes a solar concentrator that concentrates light onto a point which heats up area where the light is concentrated. This heat is used to drive a Stirling engine to create electricity by driving a generator.

What transforms rotational kinetic energy into electricity?
a generator jay from sjv
Why is a rock on the top of a hill kinetic energy?
A rock on top of a hill has potential energy, not kinetic energy. If it starts rolling down the hill then the potential energy transforms to 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 the energy transfer in tidal power- E.g. Kinetic to Gravitational?
Kinetic to Electrical
How can potential energy can change into energy in other forms?
Well potential energy is energy that can be turned into kinetic energy which is energy with motion. From then on kinetic energy can turn into chemical energy like us, or mechanical that can help machines work and move.
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.
A kitchen blender transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy Why is the amount of mechanical energy produced less than the amount of electrical energy used?
Losses are due to inefficencies of the motor, and friction on moving parts.
What energy transformation is taking place in an electric motor?
the motor uses chemical energy to make the car move or object work...and that is mechanical energy...answer: chemical-mechanical
What is the energy transformation of an electric space heater?
kinetic energy transformation potential energy mechanical energy electrical energy chemical energy nuclear energy sound energy geothermal energy
What are examples of single energy transformations?
1. when a toaster transforms electrical energy to thermal energu to toast your bread. 2. a cell phone transforms the electrical energy to eletromagnetic energy to contact with other cellphones. hope you understand it:)
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.
What does nuclear energy transform to?
Nuclear energy transforms to thermal energy (through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy (eg produces steam that drives steam turbines). The kinetic energy transforms into electric energy (through electric generators).

Why is electrical energy considered a form of kinetic energy?
I believe electrical energy is considered potential energy and not kinetic. Kinetic energy is when an object is moving, electrical energy is a stored energy that can be converted to kinetic energy.
Does electrical energy have kinetic energy?
Yes, Electrical Energy is classified under Kinetic Energy.
Why is a rock on the top of a hill kinetic energy?
A rock on top of a hill has potential energy, not kinetic energy. If it starts rolling down the hill then the potential energy transforms to 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.
