speed and potential energy
An objects total kinetic and potential energy is when both things are moving (kinetic) and the energy is stored in the object (potential)
move more. move things more.
An object can gain kinetic energy by accelerating or gravitic energy by increasing height, among other things.
We generally think of kinetic energy as the energy of motion. And the two things that matter most as regards the energy of a moving object are its mass and its velocity.
Well, basically, the higher an object is above the ground, the more potential energy it has. For kinetic energy, the amount of energy depends on the amount of force.
Heat, sound and more kinetic energy as things are moved by the impact of the object.
Kinetic energy is a form of energy that comes from motion. Therefore any moving object (that has a mass!) has kinetic energy. For kinetic energy to be produced, a force must act upon an object to give it an acceleration, to put it in motion. The simplest case is the conversion of potentiel energy to kinetic energy. When an object is far from its "normal" standing position (in this case the ground), it is said to have potential energy. When this object is attracted by the force of gravity, its potential energy is slowly converting into kinetic energy because the objet keeps on accelerating.
Kinetic energy is the energy that make things move. They are known as the "Movement Energy". Potential energy is the energy stored in object, waiting to be used.

The answer depends on what two (or more) things the ratio is meant to compare. The kinetic energy of several objects? The kinetic energy of an object compared to its total energy? The kinetic energy compared to its engine size?
KE = mv2 The mass and the squared velocity of the object.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its mass and its velocity. Kinetic energy is calculated with the equation: Ek = ½ mv² Since kinetic energy is proportional to mass and velocity, any object moving very slowly has a small amount of kinetic energy. Also, any very small object normally has a small amount of kinetic energy. For example, a soccer ball rolling down a hill might have a relatively small amount of kinetic energy.
