Think of an 8KG sledgehammer. Its head is moving at a high velocity, and it hits you in the head.
If you follow this example to its logical conclusion (in theory only, you may struggle to follow anything if you try this as an experiment), You will see some of the ways kinetic energy can cause damage to many things.

Does corn have kinetic energy?
No, corn could be said to have potential energy due to it's position or constituents.
How do you calculate the gain of Kinetic Energy?
You calculate the new kinetic energy, you calculate the old kinetic energy, then you subtract.
How can chemical energy change to kinetic energy?
Any number of ways. If you're looking for an example then connecting a battery to an electric motor would do. Chemical energy in the battery is changed to electrical energy in the circuit, which the motor then converts to kinetic energy.
What type of energy is kinetic and potential?
Kinetic and potential energy are types of mechanical energy.
When a baseball player throws a baseball he transfers kinetic energy from his body to kinetic energy in the ball Where does the baseball player get his kinetic energy from?
The kinetic energy comes from potential energy, which he got from ATP energy, which is produced through food. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy after the muscles contract and relax. Sources: School science
When can a pulley have kinetic energy?
It could have kinetic energy when the strings are being pulled and it is in operation
A what is a device that changes kinetic energy into electrical energy?
A generator in a power plant converts rotating kinetic energy into electrical energy An electric motor is a device which changes electrical energy into kinetic. For example-- Fans could be like electric energy to kinetic energy...
What is the transfer of energy usually caused by wind?
The wind is an example of kinetic energy - the energy of motion. It is generally transferred as kinetic erergy to, say, a windmill where it could pump water and the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.
What energy does your body energy convert?
Your body could could convert chemical energy into potential, kinetic, or mechanical energy.
Is it possible to have more kinetic energy than potential energy?
No, because potential energy is the amount of energy that COULD be used, while kinetic energy is the amount of energy that IS being used.
How is thermal energy transformed into kinetic energy?
The thermal energy could be used to produce steam from water. This steam drives steam turbine producing kinetic energy.
What kind of energy is energy motion?
It is kinetic energy.
Energy an object has due to its motion?
kinetic energyThe energy of motion is kinetic energy.
Is talking to someone face to face Kinetic energy?
It could be said that there is; kinetic energy is carried by the air in which the sound travels.The energy is carried in the sound waves
Kinetic energy is the energy of?
Motion.
Is the movement of air from a fan kinetic energy?
If the air is moving, then it has kinetic energy. If the fan is running, then the blade has kinetic energy. Maybe that's where the moving air got its kinetic energy from. If the dog is also walking through the room, then the dog has kinetic energy too, but he probably didn't get his kinetic energy from the fan or the air. On the other hand, a piece of tissue floating through the room could very well have gotten its kinetic energy from the fan, but that kinetic energy had to be carried from the fan to the tissue by the moving air.
What source of energy does gas belong to?
gas could be a part of kinetic energy or potential energy
