Throwing a ball into the air.
A pendulum hanging still at its highest point (potential energy) is released, converting its potential energy to kinetic energy as it swings back and forth. An object held above the ground (potential energy) is dropped, converting its potential energy to kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground.
Any object which is moving from a lower level to a higher level is converting kenetic energy (ie climbing a set of stairs for example) to potential energy. A car which has been parked at the top of a hill has used kenetic enegry to get up there and has potential to roll down to the bottom of the hill if the brake is released.
A radio is an example of electrical potential energy because it relies on stored electrical energy to function. When the radio is turned on, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy in the form of sound waves.
A pendulum is a classic example where kinetic energy is continually converted to potential energy and vice versa. As the pendulum swings, it reaches its highest point where it has maximum potential energy and minimum kinetic energy, and at the lowest point of its swing, the opposite is true with maximum kinetic energy and minimum potential energy.
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.
No, energy stored in gasoline is an example of potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work. Gasoline must be burned to release the energy stored within it, converting it into kinetic energy.
Elastic cars work by converting elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. The most potential energy, the more kinetic energy.
Its a bad example, but some potential energy is involved. You convert chemical energy from the fuel to kinetic energy and heat energy. The kinetic energy drives you into the water. There the car sinks because of the height difference and gravity. This is a form of potential energy. A better example would be a person driving up and down a mountain. When driving up a mountain you store kinetic energy into potential energy. On the way down you regain the potential energy you stored, which results in a higher kinetic energy when driving down.

Potential energy. An example of potential energy is a charged mouse trap. An example of kinetic energy is the mouse trap being sprung. Potential energy can be thought of as "stored kinetic energy". And kinetic energy can be thought of as "released potential energy"
An example of converting gravitational energy into thermal energy is when a meteor enters Earth's atmosphere. As the meteor falls, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Upon impact with the Earth's surface, this kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, generating intense heat that vaporizes the meteor and surrounding materials.
Kinetic energy can be effectively stored by converting it into potential energy through methods such as lifting weights, compressing springs, or spinning flywheels. This potential energy can then be released as kinetic energy when needed.
kinetic energy is energy in motion. potential is like a roller coaster you start at the bottom and go up to highest point of the coaster and yougain potential energy as you move to the highest point of the coaster and when you go down the peak point the potential energy the coaster was gaining is transferred to kinetic energy.
It is an example of conversion of potential energy (at the top) into kinetic energy (at the bottom).
Kinetic energy becoming potential energy.
The relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy is that they are both forms of energy that can be converted into each other. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that can be released to become kinetic energy. The total energy of a system remains constant, with potential energy converting to kinetic energy and vice versa.
