Answer= "Joule"

Other Info:

------------

Kinetic energy is just the energy that a moving body has that could be used to do work.

The standard unit of measure for energy is the "Joule"

If you want to know how to calculate the kinetic energy of a moving mass, use the following equation/formula:

Ke = M * V^2 * .5

Where:

Ke = Kinetic energy

M = Mass

V = Velocity

For example:

When a mass of 1 kg is moving at a velocity of 2 meters per second this is how you'd do the calculations:

Ke = 1 * 2^2 * .5

Ke = 1 * 4 * .5

Ke = 2 Joules

Note: the above calculation does not take into account any force that may slow down (e.g. friction) or speed up (e.g. gravity) the moving mass.

What type of energy is used when you slide across smooth floor with socks on your feet?

your using chemical energy, which is transferred to kinectic energy. through both chemical and kinectic energy you produce friction which is thermal energy, once you stop, all your energy used to move yourself in the begining is now thermal energy.

How are thermal energy and the kinectic energy of an object related?

kinetic energy is the energy that is being used in an object, and heat energy is in some cases the result, once the energy is used up. Such as, if you walk, you are using kinetic energy, your body heats up as a result, and you release the energy from your body in the form of heat.
