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!

When an arrow shot from its bow it has K.E. From where does it get K.E?

When you stretch a bow , the work done by you in stretching the bow is stored in the form of potential energy . This potential energy get converted in to kinetic energy of the bow when released.


When electrons bombard the target what percent of their kinetic energy is converted to heat?

Approximately 99% of the kinetic energy of electrons is converted to heat when they bombard the target. This conversion occurs due to interactions with the target material, resulting in the release of thermal energy.


If 100J of energy are required to draw a bow what is the kinetic energy of the arrow at the moment of release?

At the moment of release, all the energy stored in the bow (100J) is converted to the kinetic energy of the arrow. So, the kinetic energy of the arrow at that moment is 100J.


Can kinetic energy become potential energy?

Energy is never created or destroyed, but different forms of energy can be converted into another. For example, potential energy is the energy of position; a pendulum at the peak of its swing, or a spring tightly compressed. It can be converted into kinetic energy, for example, the pendulum swinging rapidly at the bottom of the swing, or the object propelled by the spring.


Is rolling down a hill potential or kinetic energy?

Rolling down a hill involves both potential and kinetic energy. At the top of the hill, the object has potential energy due to its height. As it rolls down, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the object gains speed.

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.


Where does potential energy go when it is converted into kinetic energy?

When potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, it is transformed into the energy of motion.


What type of energy can be converted to kinetic energy when it is used to do work?

Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when it is used to do work.


What is the same has kinetic?

Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, as seen in a swinging pendulum where potential energy at the highest point is converted into kinetic energy at the lowest point.


What is the relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy. The two are related because potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy and vice versa.


Why potential energy can not be converted into kinetic energy?

Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy. For example, when an object is released from a height, its potential energy due to gravity is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. This conversion follows the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.


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.


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.
