Why is sound energy kinetic energy?

Sound is the movement of a medium at frequencies we can hear. As it always involves movement of a medium, either a solid, liquid or gas to be transmitted it will involve kinetic energy at times. Note that kinetic energy is the energy stored in a moving mass. Sound waves carry energy with a combination of both kinetic and potential energy. There are two moments in every cycle where there is no movement and therefore no kinetic energy. These two points are at the upper and lower peaks of the wave.


What other kind of energy is there besides potential and kinetic?

Besides potential and kinetic energy, there are various other forms of energy, such as thermal energy (associated with heat), chemical energy (stored in the bonds of molecules), electrical energy (related to the movement of electric charges), nuclear energy (released during nuclear reactions), electromagnetic energy (including light, radio waves, etc.), and sound energy (produced by the vibrations of objects).


Is potential energy what a light bulb uses?

NopeNo, potential energy would be, for instance, a spring that is compressed. It could cause motion if released. It is stored energy. The light bulb uses electrical energy, which it converts to light and heat energy. potential energy is like when you wind up a torch or a radio


What type of energy are radio waves visible light from the sun infrared rays from heat lamps the waves that heat food in a microwave oven ultraviolet rays and X-rays?

the answer is electromagnetic energy and visible light is an example it is a form of energy that travels through space as waves.


What is an example of a tranverse wave?

it is not a tranverse wave and an example is moclamo

potential to acoustic energy


What is the difference between sound and kinetic energy?

"Kinetic" is another word for "motion." Scientists use it to define energy that is moving. For example, waves in the ocean have kinetic energy, because they are moving. Something as big as a plane in flight has kinetic energy, but size is not important. Atoms, which are the tiniest particles of matter, are also in motion. They have kinetic energy, too. Kinetic energy can appear in many forms.  Radiant energy is kinetic energy that shows up as light, radio waves, and x-rays.  Thermal energy is kinetic energy that we call "heat." Heat is actually caused by the movement of vibrating molecules.  Electrical energy is kinetic energy that exists in the movement of electrical charges. Lightening and the electricity that powers your home are two examples.  Sound is also kinetic energy. It is created when a force causes an object or other matter to vibrate. We hear sound because force causes our eardrums to move.  Motion energy is the simplest form of kinetic energy. It comes from the movement of matter from one place to another. Water flowing is an example of motion energy. So is wind.

Does a radio use sound energy?

yes,because radio is an example of sound energy...


Is a radio and example of radiant energy?

Yes. Radios use radio waves which are radiant energy.
