Normally, in most contexts, the opposite of "kinetic" (moving) could be "static" (not moving).
When talking about 'energy' the opposite of "kinetic" can be "potential", i.e., kinetic energy vs potential energy. An object in ballistic motion (i.e., moving only under the influence of a simple gravitational field) may exchange its energy between kinetic and potential forms, perhaps even repeatedly, but the sum of the two will remain constant. Examples (neglecting friction) include a pendulum, a roller coaster and a satellite in an elliptical orbit.

What is opposite of kinetic energy?
Potential energy
When a bullet is fired from a rifle does the bullet have a greater momentum and kinetic energy than the rifle?
The momenta of the rifle and the bullet are equal and opposite. The bullet has greater kinetic energy than the rifle.
How can the work-kinetic energy theorem explain why the force of sliding friction reduces the kinetic energy of a particle?
Work = change in Kinetic Energy Because friction acts in the opposite direction of the motion of an object, kinetic energy must be decreased in order to maintain the above equation. Friction opposes motion. Friction converts the kinetic energy of a particle into heat and sound.
The direction of kinetic friction is always?
against motion For example, if I push a box to the left, kinetic friction is going to the left.
What happens when the applied force is equal to the kinetic friction?
Presumably, the forces are in opposite directions. In that case, the total force is zero, and there will be no acceleration.
Who worked out that Kinetic had an opposite at all because it doesn't Potential is having the prospect of becoming kinetic so how is that an opposite What could be still in relation to all else?
Actually, the opposite of Kinetic is Static. Kinetic means "in motion", static means "not moving".
What is opposite of kinetic energy?
Potential energy
Is it true that when increases the average kinetic energy of the particles decrease?
No. It is the opposite. When temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles also increases.
When is kinetic friction a good thing?
It involves the opposite sex I'll give you that much
How does a substances temperature change when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases When it decreases?
It decreases in relation to lower temperature.
What is the forces acting on a car?
kinetic energy from the engine whereas opposite force act on it called friction..
When a bullet is fired from a rifle does the bullet have a greater momentum and kinetic energy than the rifle?
The momenta of the rifle and the bullet are equal and opposite. The bullet has greater kinetic energy than the rifle.

How the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
How does the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
When body is thrown in upward direction then what will happen about kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy will be decrease because when the body thrown in upward direction the gravitation force will be act in opposite direction which reduce the velocity.so the velocity will decrease.
