"Kinetic energy" is energy of motion. When you, or any object, move faster, you
have more kinetic energy. In order for you or any object to speed up, it needs to
have more kinetic energy, and that energy has to come from somewhere. It can
come from gasoline burning in the engine to turn the wheels faster, rocket fuel
burning in the combustion chamber to accelerate the spacecraft, RF current
through the magnets to drag the protons around the ring faster, or glucose
burning in the muscles to make the legs go faster. But if more speed is needed,
then it'll take more kinetic energy, and that energy must come from somewhere.

Why does temperature in a thermometer go up faster when shaken?
because the more an object moves the higher the energy is making the temperature increase as well
Is used to lower the energy required to make a reaction take place It makes chemical reactions go faster without being consumed?
A catalyst
Do you lose the same amount of gas if you go faster than if you went slower?
You lose more when you go faster: when you go faster the amount of friction increases and thus the amount of energy you lose increases.
Why does jelly dissolve faster in hot water than in cold?
Hot water has the energy(heat) to make the change go faster
Why do particles move more quicker at high temperature than low temperature?
A temperature increase is an increase in the thermal energy of an atom. The energy must be used somehow, since energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transferred. The transferred energy has no where to go and thus makes the atom vibrate more, which is a known result when atoms absorb energy. - A mechanical engineer.
Does speeding have an effect on braking distance?
Yes, the faster you are moving the longer it will take to stop.
Why do you get dehydrated so easily?
the more you run or the more you go faster the more you get dehydrated but the more you take your time and not go faster you wont
How can a scooter go faster?
you can go to the pond shop and tell them to put more energy in it
How do you use energy to make a bike go faster?
You can put more gears in the bicycle.
Why do tornadoes go longer if they spin faster?
Stronger tornadoes generally last longer because they have more energy.
Where does energy go when you let a balloon go?
it creates kinetic energy because it movement is growing faster
Why voltage is more at night and why fan rotate faster at night?
possibly because less appliances and lights are on at night, more energy can go to the fan
Which one would go faster with the same kinectic energy bowling ball or a golf ball?
Kinetic energy is a function of mass and velocity. Therefore, an object with more mass, such as a bowling ball, would have to go slower than an object with less mass, such as a golf ball. So, if given the same amount of kinetic energy, a bowling ball will go faster than a golf ball, because it has more mass.
Why does temperature in a thermometer go up faster when shaken?
because the more an object moves the higher the energy is making the temperature increase as well
Does sound travel best though solid liquid gas?
Sound go though gas faster because it will take more power to go though a solid so sound go though gas faster.
Why does friction increase when speed does?
There are several types of friction involved and the whole question comes down to energy and where it goes. I will only address a few types. The air resists the car moving through it, the faster you go the more energy it takes to push the air away then more energy is lost as speed rises because the car creates a low pressure and turbulence area behind it. Third is the air actually sliding over the body. All of this increases "friction" Rolling resistance of the tires is cause because the tires "flex" as they roll (the bulge on the bottom when you are parked) the faster you go the more they flex the more energy they use. All the mechanical bits in the car slide past one another, the faster they go the more energy it takes.
How much time does it take for an object to go on sale?
it depends on the object. if its a car it may take longer because its more expensive but if its a lamp it may go on sale faster.
