How if two people are walking at the same speed one could have more kinetic energy?

kinetic energy is 1/2 mass x velocity squared, so if one is heavier he has more kinetic energy at same speed

Is the movement of air from a fan kinetic energy?
If the air is moving, then it has kinetic energy. If the fan is running, then the blade has kinetic energy. Maybe that's where the moving air got its kinetic energy from. If the dog is also walking through the room, then the dog has kinetic energy too, but he probably didn't get his kinetic energy from the fan or the air. On the other hand, a piece of tissue floating through the room could very well have gotten its kinetic energy from the fan, but that kinetic energy had to be carried from the fan to the tissue by the moving air.
When can a pulley have kinetic energy?
It could have kinetic energy when the strings are being pulled and it is in operation
A what is a device that changes kinetic energy into electrical energy?
A generator in a power plant converts rotating kinetic energy into electrical energy An electric motor is a device which changes electrical energy into kinetic. For example-- Fans could be like electric energy to kinetic energy...
What is the transfer of energy usually caused by wind?
The wind is an example of kinetic energy - the energy of motion. It is generally transferred as kinetic erergy to, say, a windmill where it could pump water and the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.
What energy does your body energy convert?
Your body could could convert chemical energy into potential, kinetic, or mechanical energy.
Is it possible to have more kinetic energy than potential energy?
No, because potential energy is the amount of energy that COULD be used, while kinetic energy is the amount of energy that IS being used.
How is thermal energy transformed into kinetic energy?
The thermal energy could be used to produce steam from water. This steam drives steam turbine producing kinetic energy.
Is talking to someone face to face Kinetic energy?
It could be said that there is; kinetic energy is carried by the air in which the sound travels.The energy is carried in the sound waves
What source of energy does gas belong to?
gas could be a part of kinetic energy or potential energy
Can two people be moving at the different speeds and have the same kinetic energy?
Sure. Kinetic energy depends on both mass and speed. So two objects could have different speeds, but if their masses are also different by just the right amount, their KE's could be equal.
Why is average kinetic energy used when discussing the kinetic energy of a collection of particles?
Because the kinetic energy of many particles vary and would be normally distributed, so you could safely use an average number.
How is radiation absorbed?
Radiation is kinetic energy caused by particles or waves. Absorption in a material is not possible, however the energy could transform from kinetic to other kind of energy.
