Does a small horse has the same amount of kinetic energy as a larger horse moving at the same speed?

The more massive horse that is moving at the same speed will have greater kinetic energy.
How do you define large and small? A small fat horse may have more mass than a large skinny horse.

A slow moving steamroller has a large amount of kinetic energy too?
Yes.
How can a parked bus potential energy changes to kinetic energy?
When the bus starts moving its potential energy will change to kinetic energy.
Energy can be formally defined as?
Kinetic energy is the amount of energy in an object due to its motion. It is defined as the amount of work that was required to accelerate the object from rest to its current velocity. In classical Newtonian physics, kinetic energy is calcualted in the following equation.Ek=1/2mv2Where:Ek is the kinetic energy of a body;m is the mass of the body; andv is the velocity of the body.Note that kinetic energy is always relative to the observer's frame of reference. For example, a girl holding a ball still would tell you the ball has no kinetic energy, because it is not moving - it has a velocity of zero, and according to the above equation, the kinetic energy must also be zero. Even if she were in a moving car holding the ball, she would still tell you (correctly) that the ball has no kinetic energy, because from her perspective, the ball is not moving. But from a bystander's perspective on the sidewalk, the ball (and the girl, the car, etc.) would indeed have kinetic energy, because, from the bystander's frame of reference, the ball is moving.
Which examples illustrates an object with kinetic energy?
A skateboard rolling across the street A hockey puck sliding across the ice
Differentiate kinetic energy from potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy something has because it is moving. Potential energy is the energy something has because of its position or configuration.
What does the amount of kinetic energy of a moving object depend?
The kinetic energy depends on the object's mass, and on its speed.
Does a small horse have the same kinetic energy as a larger horse moving at the same speed?
no
Is a lit match kinetic or potential energy?
I think it is kinetic energy because it is moving and moving energy is kinetic energy.
A slow moving steamroller has a large amount of kinetic energy too?
Yes.
Is a plane moving kinetic energy?
kinetic energy is motion energy, therefore any object that is moving possesses kinetic energy.
Is a match kinetic or potential energy?
I think it is kinetic energy because it is moving and moving energy is kinetic energy.
How does the kinetic energy change if the objects mass is twice as large?
Assuming the larger mass is moving at the same speed as the original mass, the kinetic energy will double.
What do windmills convert into electrical energy?
kinetic energy. kinetic energy is moving energy and wind is moving.
What energy is moving electrons?
Kinetic energy. If you consider a larger scale, i.e., the electrical current, this is usually called electrical energy.
Why is cycling kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of moving things, And a bicycle in use is a moving thing.
What is the kinetic energy called when it is moving?
Kinetic energy is when it's moving. Potential energy is when the object is motionless.
Does solid have the highest kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy does not depend upon the phase of matter; it depends upon the amount of matter, and the speed with which it is moving. One pound of matter, whether gas, liquid, or solid, moving at a specific speed, has the same kinetic energy.
