Kinetic energy conversion

Kinetic energy conversion involves transforming energy from movement into different forms. For example, when a moving car slows down, its kinetic energy—energy from its motion—is often converted into heat through the brakes. Similarly, a swinging pendulum converts potential energy into kinetic energy as it moves downward and back again. This process follows the principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. Efficient conversions are key in many devices and systems, ensuring energy is used effectively and appropriately across various applications.
