Kinetic energy can be coverted to electrical energy. This happens in power stations when turbines turn (kinetic) to generate electricity. There are other applications that transfer kinetic energy to electrical energy such as dynamos.
Sometimes the kinetic energy is converted to stored energy like strain or gravitational energy. Winding something up for example, this energy can then be used to power watches, wind up toys and even wind up radios.
Kinetic energy is also converted into heat and sound - rub your hands together and you'll see what I mean!

∙ 7y agoKinetic energy can be converted into almost any other form of energy (if you can find the technology to do so) for eg. into electric energy if it is a rotating shaft by connecting a generator, into heat if that same rotating shaft were connected to a piston and pressurizing a gas, or if the moving (kinetic energy) mass caused friction between it and another mass and so on...

∙ 14y agoYes. For instance, throwing a Baseball up in the air. Initially the ball has a lot of kinetic energy (it's moving fast). As it goes up, due to gravity, it slows down, but at the same time it is gaining height (potential energy). Kinetic energy is basically being converted into potential energy. At the top of the baseball's flight, it will have 0 kinetic energy because v=0 and all of its energy will be in potential energy.

What happens to energy in biosphere?
In the biosphere, energy is converted into kinetic energy.
What type of energy is represesnted by a log floating down a river?
Kinetic energy (the energy of motion). There is also potential energy being converted into kinetic energy.
When a baseball player throws a baseball he transfers kinetic energy from his body to kinetic energy in the ball Where does the baseball player get his kinetic energy from?
The kinetic energy comes from potential energy, which he got from ATP energy, which is produced through food. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy after the muscles contract and relax. Sources: School science
What happen to kinetic energy of the rock as it gets higher and higher?
Unless the speed of the rock changes, the kinetic energy does not change. If you are talking about a rock that is being thrown, of course the kinetic energy decreases as kinetic energy is converted into potential by the conservative gravitational force.
When electrons bombard the target what percent of their kinetic energy is converted to heat?
99
Potential energy is frequently converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy?
can be converted to potential energy.
Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)
Is potential energy was converted to kinetic energy?
It CAN be converted to kinetic energy, but it won't always do so.
When a gas is heated is all of the absorbed energy converted to kinetic energy or potential?
When a gas is heated the energy is converted to kinetic energy.
What happen to the potential energy of an object as it falls?
It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)
How is motion energy converted?
kinetic energy can be converted into other forms of energy... And vise vers.For example, kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy by a generator or into thermal energy by the brakes on a car.
What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?
If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.
When a ball rolls down a hill what energy occurs?
The situation is similar as when an object falls. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (including rotational energy in this case); part of that kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.
Hands moving on a battery operated clock is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
Which describes the energy conversions used to make a car down the street?
Assuming it just rolls down a slope, without the engines working: gravitational potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy will eventually be converted to heat energy.
What kind of energy in car engine?
Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
What is the energy of water converted to electricity?
It is kinetic energy.
