Kinetic energy (KE), the energy of motion. Also depending on where it is reletive to where its going it also has potential energy (PE)

What is difference in work done by fuel and work done by moving object?

work done by fuel is conversion of chemical energy into mechanical whereas work done by moving object is due to its displacement by the application of force. actually, both of them give same meaning.


Is chemical energy potental or kinetic energy?

Chemical energy is a kind of potential energy - energy related to the position, or more accurately, work done to move an object against a conservative force.Chemical energy is a kind of potential energy - energy related to the position, or more accurately, work done to move an object against a conservative force.Chemical energy is a kind of potential energy - energy related to the position, or more accurately, work done to move an object against a conservative force.Chemical energy is a kind of potential energy - energy related to the position, or more accurately, work done to move an object against a conservative force.


When negative work is done on a moving object it's kenetic energy?

When negative work is done on the object, the object's energy decreases. This MAY be kinetic energy, but some other form of energy may increase instead, for example, potential energy or heat energy.


What term describes the amount of energy a moving object has?

An object's kinetic energy is energy entirely due to its motion. The kinetic energy of an object, at some given speed, is the work needed to accelerate that body from rest to the given speed.


What type of energy is it when an object is moved against a force?

Mechanical energy is transferred by a force to a moving object.

What does a force moving an object through a distance transfer?

Energy or "work" The formula is Energy transferred or work done is equal to the force needed times the distance moved Wd = F x d


How does friction enable an object in motion come to rest?

Friction inhibits motion by creating more resistance to the gravity and velocity at work when an object is in motion. The more resistance, the more energy is required to move the object. Unless there is a source of energy replenishing that which is list by moving the object through the resistant object or substance (i.e., sand), the energy will eventually dwindle to the point of exhaustion and the object will stop moving.


Why fast wind is capable of doing more work compared to slow wind?

The energy of a moving object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed) so fast moving air has much more energy which can be extracted (by a windmill or wind turbine to do work) than slow moving air.


What is the relationship between the work done while moving a book to a higher bookshelf the potential energy that the book has on the shelf?

Potetial energy is the energy an object has because of its position or location, or its energy of position.


What is the work done by the weight if a body is moving at constant speed over a firctionless surface?

If the object's speed is constant, then its kinetic energy is too.So none of its energy has been robbed to do external work.


Is potential energy in motion?

Potential energy is stored energy. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to it's motion.
