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.
When potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, it is transformed into the energy of motion.
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)
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.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.
No, kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into 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.
It CAN be converted to kinetic energy, but it won't always do so.
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.
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.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.
No, kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.
Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic energy.
Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when it is used to do work.
Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when skydiving. As the skydiver jumps from the plane, they have a high potential energy due to their height above the ground. This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy as the skydiver accelerates towards the ground.
In a pendulum, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the bob swings down. At the bottom of the swing, the kinetic energy is at its peak while potential energy is at its lowest. As the pendulum swings back up, this kinetic energy is then converted back into potential energy before the process repeats.
