Kinetic energy is defined in terms of motion, so anything in motion is exhibiting kinetic energy.

Why gas molecules are elastic?
To be INELASTIC, they would have to absorb the kinetic energy and convert it to some other kind of energy.
Is touching a kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Your touching finger has mass and is moving some meters per second, so that motion is kenetic energy.
Is it possible for humans to control Kinetic Energy?
YES ... When a car is moving, it has kinetic energy. If you apply the brakes, the vehicle will slow down and thus loose some of that kinetic energy. The energy that was kinetic from the fast moving vehicle is transferred into heat energy in the braking mechanism (the rotor disks and pads.)
What effect does liquid nitrogen have on molecular kinetic energy?
Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy. Because liquid nitrogen is very cold, a system's kinetic energy will be collisionally transferred to the added liquid nitrogen. Thus, in general, adding liquid nitrogen will decrease a system's kinetic energy. (There are some exceptions where the system has less kinetic energy than the liquid nitrogen, such as liquid helium.)
How is riding a bike kinetic energy?
The motorcycle's gasoline is potential energy. The energy is released as a chemical reaction (chemical energy) and converted to heat (heat energy). It then becomes converted to kinetic energy with the movement in the engine, and subsequent movement of the motorcycle.
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 some examples of energy conversions from potential to kinetic?
In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
Where is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is a energy through movement. When some thing moves, it is kinetic energy.
A boulder falling through the air has what type of energy?
a boulder falling through the air still has some potential energy, but some of its potential energy has changed to kinetic energy...so it has both potential and kinetic!
As an object falls the gravitational potential energy of the object is converted to what?
Some of its potential energy changes to kinetic energy.
3 examples of heat energy?
There are many examples of heat energy found in the environment. Some of these include the sun, boiling water, and a stove.
What are some examples of the forms of energy?
Kinetic- Throwing a baseballPotential- Holding a baseballGravitational Potential- A diver standing motionless of a diving boardElastic Potential- Bouncing a bouncy ball.Mechanical- A moving trainChemical- Gasoline in a carElectrical- Lightning StrikingElectromagnetic- Satellites in spaceNuclear- An exploding bombThermal- Boiling Water
What is total mechanical energy?
The some of potential energy + kinetic energy.
Can you give some types of kinetic energy?
There are many different forms of kinetic energy, but there are three that are most common. Linear Kinetic Energy (straight line motion) Rotational Kinetic Energy (Like a spinning top) Spring Kinetic Energy (A spring oscillating back and forth)
How does kinetic energy stop?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Energy cannot be destroyed, but it can be converted into other forms. When you want to get rid of kinetic energy, we normally use a brake, which converts the kinetic energy into heat energy through friction. With some hybrid automobiles, they use "regenerative braking" to convert the kinetic energy of motion back into electrical energy in the batteries.
When potential energy is converted to kinetic energy can it be reversible?
Kinetic energy can be reconverted into potantial energy, but not with 100% efficiency. Some energe is lost in the process.
Is kinetic energy used in swimming?
Unless you don't move at all, some kinetic energy will certainly be involved.
