"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.

What is the differences between energy types?
Potential energy and Kinetic energy. Potential energy comes in forms that are stored, including - Chemical, Gravitational, Mechanical and Nuclear. Kinetic energy forms are doing work - Like electrical, heat, light, motion and sound. Difference between them both are, Potential energy can be stored and Kinetic energy is already doing work and can't be stored. Hope this helps =)
john lifts a hammer and strikes a nail into a plank. Which of the following energy conversion take place?
bat
What is the energy conversion for sound system?
Sound is a form of kinetic energy.
What is the energy conversion of a hammer and strikes a nail into a plank?
joule
Do sound waves have kinetic energy?
no.
Is sound energy kinetic energy?
Yes, sound energy is kinetic energy.
What is the difference between potenntial and kinetic energy?
Potential energy is energy that is being stored weather it be stored in chemical bonds the stretching or compressing of an object etc. Kinetic energy is energy being used in someway by creating heat, sound, motion etc.

When might kinetic energy turn into sound energy?
When you drop a rock and it hits the side walk it makes a sound. Kinetic energy transferred to sound energy.
What form of energy does a horse have as it runs?
It has kinetic and sound energy.

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 is the energy conversion for sound system?
Sound is a form of kinetic energy.
What is the energy conversion of a hammer and strikes a nail into a plank?
joule
What are Kind of kinetic energy?
The four kinds of kinetic energy are mechanical,sound, electrical and thermal energy.
Do sound waves have kinetic energy?
no.
Does potential energy equal kinetic energy plus heat and sound?
Normally the heat and sound are forms of energy wasted in the conversion from potential to kinetic energy. By the conservation of energy principle the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy not withstanding energy losses.
