Kinetic energy is extra energy resultant of motion. So, a moving vehicle has kinetic energy.

Means of transport which changes chemical energy into kinetic energy?

Many engines do this conversion. For example, the engines commonly found in cars convert the chemical energy first to heat (by burning it), then convert part of this heat into movement (kinetic energy).


Is it possible for humans to control Kinetic Energy?

YES ... When a car is moving, it has kinetic energy. If you apply the brakes, the vehicle will slow down and thus loose some of that kinetic energy. The energy that was kinetic from the fast moving vehicle is transferred into heat energy in the braking mechanism (the rotor disks and pads.)


What energy or momentum of a vehicle can be offset by allwoing an increase in stopping distance?

By allowing an increase in stopping distance, the kinetic energy of the vehicle can be reduced. This reduction in kinetic energy results in a slower deceleration of the vehicle, which means a lower force is applied to bring it to a stop. As a result, the momentum of the vehicle is offset, as it takes longer to come to a complete stop.


When a vehicle is slowing down what changes its momentum and kinetic energy as force of brakes is an internal force?

When a vehicle is slowing down, the external force of friction between the brakes and the wheels is what changes its momentum and kinetic energy. This force works against the vehicle's motion, transferring kinetic energy into heat and bringing the vehicle to a stop. The force of the brakes is an internal force that generates friction to slow down the vehicle.


What is an example of converting kinetic energy into potential energy?

Throwing a ball into the air.

Do the faster your vehicle moves the less kinetic energy it has?

No, the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle actually increases with its speed. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity, so the faster the vehicle moves, the more kinetic energy it has.


How is energy change from one from to another?

By energy conversion. For example heat can be changed into kinetic energy by running a turbine to move a vehicle.


How is a space shuttle an example of chemical energy?

Because when it is launched the chemical energy in the fuel is converted to kinetic energy of the space vehicle.

Which of these is an example of kinetic?

Basically, anything that moves has kinetic energy.


What is kinetic energy and what is an example of a kinetic energy?

The energy from any type of movement. Anything from a swinging swing to a Electron moving around the nucleus.


Is a waterfall a example of kinetic energy?

It is an example of conversion of potential energy (at the top) into kinetic energy (at the bottom).


What are the two factors that will affect the amount of kinetic energy on the moving vehicle on the road?

The speed of the vehicle and its mass are the two factors that will affect the amount of kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to both speed and mass, so an increase in either will result in a greater amount of kinetic energy.


Which is example of kinetic energy?

Any moving object has kinetic energy.


What an example of kinetic energy?

Any motion of anything is kinetic energy. A moving vehicle on a road has kinetic energy. A Bowling ball rolling down the lane has kinetic energy. A falling rock has kinetic energy.Here examples of kinetic energy: moving a skateboard, a Basketball passing through a hoop, someone climbing a ladder, wind blowing, and when a rubber band is zinged from your finger.
