When a person bounces a basket ball the process of conversion is occuring,changing potential energy into kinetic energy. The reason for the conversion was that when the person holding the ball is keeping the ball in place it's expresing potential energy. Because it has the potential to release energy but it dosent. Then when the person let's go of the ball and it bounces it releases kinetic energy witch contributes to the conversion process, because it changed from potentail to kinetic energy in the time from the person holding the ball and getting ready to bounce it and the ball being released and bouncing. Then the ball will stop bouncing and that will also be conversion, from kinetic back to potentiol energy. That's what occurs in the conversion of a basket ball from potential to kinetic energy back to potential energy.
