There are many ways to convert one form of energy into another form. We do have to start with energy (or in the case of an atomic bomb, mass-energy) in order to make another form of energy because it is impossible to make energy out of nothing (as stated in the law of conservation of mass-energy). Since the human body runs on chemical energy, we do use some degree of chemical energy in everything we do - even thinking requires it, not just the movement of muscles. If I cut a rope that is holding up a weight, which then falls, I would then be converting gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy - although even then, some chemical energy would also be involved in moving my hand in order to cut the rope.

Is Kinetic energy capitalized?
No, in fact, the word kinetic or potential energy doesn't need to be capitalized.
What are the effects of kinetic energy?
You need to rethink your question. Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses because of its motion. Exactly what is it that you want to know?
What is the energy transfer for a solar powered fan?
heat energy is transferred/converted into kinetic and sound energy. Kinetic is usefull as it turns the wings and that is its purpose. sound energy is wasted as you do not need this
What two things do you need to increase the kinetic energy of an object?
speed and potential energy
Is it true that you can determine the kinetic energy of an object if you know mass and volume?
No, that's not true. Look at the formula for kinetic energy. You need mass and speed.
Why is there a need for Energy Transformation?
Well, if you have electricity, and you want light, then you need to turn electricity into light, which is one kind of energy transformation. If you have chemical energy as in gasoline and wants to go somewhere, you need to turn chemical energy into kinetic energy, and maybe some potential energy as well to get anywhere.
Does kinetic energy need to be capitalized?
No, kinetic energy doesn't need to be capitalized.
What need to be done to a fuel to release the energy stored in it?
The process of combustion combines fuel with oxygen, to produce carbon dioxide and heat. If the fuel is burned in a boiler to produce steam, this heat energy is converted to pressure energy in the steam. The pressure energy is converted to rotating kinetic energy as the steam spins a turbine. Finally the rotating kinetic energy is converted to electric energy in the generator.
How are temperature and kinetic energy connected?
Well this one's quite simple, temperature and kinetic energy are both types of energy, seeing as though they are both types of energy they both produce energy. Producing energy is a great thing as we all need energy to survive, without energy we'd die. Oh and about the question.
Why do humans get tired and sleepy?
Human get tired and sleepy as chemical potential energy in our body is transferred to other forms of energy(kinetic energy when moving).Hence, the chemical potential energy gets used up and you get tired and to restore this energy u will need food:).
Does the roller coaster need kinetic energy to move down the tracks?
If its moving it has kinetic energy
Is Kinetic energy capitalized?
No, in fact, the word kinetic or potential energy doesn't need to be capitalized.
When cells breakdown a sugar molecule completely to produce chemical energy (ATP) the cells need?
To break down sugar and produce useful energy, the cells need many things, but most importantly they need ENZYMES.

What type of energy does a car need to drive?
Kinetic energy

Do an object in motion need to have potential energy?
kinetic or potential energy
