What are examples of conversion of kinetic to potential energy?

Answer 1

Lifting an object up (giving it potential energy) and dropping it (kinetic energy) onto a desk (sound and heat on impact)
Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy in various ways:

Gravitational potential energy causes a static object to have potential energy at various altitudes, and when the object is in motion, it converts to kinetic energy. Elastic potential energy involves springs; when a spring is compressed the potential energy increases and when it releases, it is converted into kinetic energy. These are only two ways in which potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
Potential energy is associated with the configuration or position of the body while kinetic energy is associated with motion. The addition of these two for a body always comes out to be the same and hence makes the basis for the law of conservation of energy. The total energy (kinetic+potential) of a body is called the mechanical energy.

Take for instance a simple pendulum, when it is at its amplitude (extreme left or right position), due to the negative acceleration at that point it comes to halt (therefore, potential energy is maximum). When it reaches its equilibrium position (centre or mean position), it has maximum velocity and hence maximum kinetic energy.

So more motion = more kinetic energy

Less motion = more potential energy
according to law of conservation of energy,energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another,i.e.from potential to kinetic.hence when we rise a ball ,energy is transfered from us to the ball & gets stored as potential energy which on falling converts into kinetic energy.
Potential energy is energy due to mass and height, while kinetic energy is energy due to mass and velocity. To convert potential energy to kinetic energy, simply let go of the object and let it fall. As is accelerates due to gravity, its potential energy will change to kinetic energy.
Examples:

A ball rolling down a slanted surface.

Something falling off a shelf to the floor below.

A spring release that opens the engine hood of a car.
dropping an item from rest above the ground. think of potential energy as height and kinetic as the motion of falling.

Answer 2

When a windup toy winds down and stops, the kinetic energy turns into potential energy. When you drop something it has kinetic energy while it is falling, but when it lands, it has potential energy.

Answer 3

Hydroelectricity is produced using potential energy of water

Answer 4

A roller coaster goes up an incline!:)
