Solution
When a bell fixed on a cycle rings, then the energy conversion that takes place is kinetic energy to sound energy.
Explanation:
This is because ringing a bell typically requires moving a bell component, like a lever or clapper. Mechanical forces initially move these components. This mechanical force is converted into kinetic energy as the clapper moves, and this kinetic energy is then converted into sound energy when it strikes the bell.
