Can kinetic energy be a balanced and appear to not move and if so what are some examples?

No, not the way you're trying to describe it. But the kinetic energy of a moving object
can appear to have different values, depending on how the observer is moving when
he measures it.
Example:
I'm sitting comfortably, reading a book. I doze off, and the book settles down in
my lap. What's the kinetic energy of the book ?
To the person sitting next to me, the kinetic energy of the book is zero, because
it's not moving.
But that person and I are sitting in adjacent seats on a transatlantic flight to Europe,
cruising along at about 500 mph when I doze off. The scientist down there in his
boat, watching us fly over, would not agree that my book has no kinetic energy.

What are some examples of where kinetic energy is found?
Kinetic energy is defined in terms of motion, so anything in motion is exhibiting kinetic energy.
What is a mechanical energy examples?
Kinetic energy of a moving object.
What are more examples of energy transformation?
Potential to kinetic kinetic to potential Thermal to solar
What are examples of mechanical kinetic energy?
a moved string
What are 5 examples of energy transformation in a flower?
kinetic
How do we use kinetic energy in everyday life?
Kinetic energy is any energy that is being used, so you use kinetic energy in many ways. Moving, using an electronic device, and even doing nothing (your body still completes certain processes) all are a few examples of using kinetic energy.
What are examples of forms of energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy are two forms of energy. Potential energy is stored energy and is the energy of position; gravitational energy is an example of potential energy. Kinetic energy is the motion of waves, molecules, objects, and substances.
Examples for kinetic energy?
any moving object is called kinetic energy and stored energy is potential energy. Eg:energy is stored while kicking a ball and it is released when the ball is kicked. this is potential energy to kinetic energy.
What are five examples of kinetic energy?
bikechainsawcarsmotercycleschairThe energy possessed by a moving body is called its kinetic energy. Five examples of such bodies are: a flying airplane, a moving ship, flowing water, swaying leaves and a running man.
Is electrical energy a kinetic energy or potential energy?
Neither, it is chemical! Static and current electricity are examples of it.
What are the examples of kinetic energy in form of water?
The water can move by blowing it
What an example of kinetic energy?
Any motion of anything is kinetic energy. A moving vehicle on a road has kinetic energy. A Bowling ball rolling down the lane has kinetic energy. A falling rock has kinetic energy.Here examples of kinetic energy: moving a skateboard, a Basketball passing through a hoop, someone climbing a ladder, wind blowing, and when a rubber band is zinged from your finger.
