Heat is referred to as the graveyard of kinetic energy in that once kinetic energy has been transformed into heat, it is no longer usable.

Which energy is often called the graveyard of energy and why?
Heat due to friction. Due to friction, kinetic energy is converted to heat and not potential energy; thus, the kinetic energy is "lost" since heat cannot easily be converted back into kinetic energy.
What is the kinetic energy of particles of matter called?
heat
What is the energy of motion of molecules called?
Kinetic Energy
Can heat be a form of kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the movement energy of an object hence heat is a form of Kinetic energy.
Can heat be completely transformed to kinetic energy?
No heat can not be transformed to kinetic energy.
Why is heat energy linked with kinetic energy?
It is linked because heat is the total potential and kinetic energy of an object, so as kinetic energy increases, heat increases.
When can heat energy be considered as kinetic energy?
At the microscopic level, heat energy is the kinetic energy of the individual molecules.
Energy of atoms and molecules in an object due to their motion is what type of energy?
That is called heat energy.
Is heat energy a kinetic energy or potenail energy and why?
Heat energy is a form of kinetic energy because heat is related to the motion of particles. This means heat is a form of kinetic energy. Adding heat energy to an object makes it hotter and causes its particles to move faster. That is why heat energy is a form of kinetic energy.AnswerHeat is the name we give to energy in transit from a warmer body to a cooler body. So it's NOT a form of 'kinetic energy'; what the original answer defines is 'internal energy', not heat!
john lifts a hammer and strikes a nail into a plank. Which of the following energy conversion take place?
bat
When rocket reenters the atmosphere its nose cone beomes hotwhere does this heat energy come from?
From the rocket's movement energy (formally called kinetic energy). As the rocket slows down through friction, its kinetic energy is converted mainly to heat energy.
Energy transfer diagrams?
heat ---> kinetic ---> electricity heat ---> kinetic ---> electricity
