Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
It is the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy.
Potential energy to kinetic energy

Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
It is an example of conversion of potential energy (at the top) into kinetic energy (at the bottom).
It is the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy.
When potential energy changes to kinetic energy, it is called "energy transformation" or "energy conversion."
Potential Energy changes to Kinetic Energy.
Potential energy to kinetic energy
Normally the heat and sound are forms of energy wasted in the conversion from potential to kinetic energy. By the conservation of energy principle the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy not withstanding energy losses.
joule
The simplest example is a falling object. Its potential energy is reduced, while its speed, and thus its kinetic energy, increases.
