"Kinetic" is another word for "motion." Scientists use it to define energy that is moving. For example, waves in the ocean have kinetic energy, because they are moving. Something as big as a plane in
flight has kinetic energy, but size is not important. Atoms, which are the tiniest particles of matter, are also
in motion. They have kinetic energy, too.
Kinetic energy can appear in many forms.
Radiant energy is kinetic energy that shows up as light, radio waves, and x-rays.
Thermal energy is kinetic energy that we call "heat." Heat is actually caused by the
movement of vibrating molecules.
Electrical energy is kinetic energy that exists in the movement of electrical charges.
Lightening and the electricity that powers your home are two examples.
Sound is also kinetic energy. It is created when a force causes an object or other
matter to vibrate. We hear sound because force causes our eardrums to move.
Motion energy is the simplest form of kinetic energy. It comes from the movement
of matter from one place to another. Water flowing is an example of motion energy.
So is wind.

What is the difference between an inelastic collision and an elastic collision?
In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and some energy is lost as heat or sound. In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved and no energy is lost.
What is the energy conversion of a hammer and strikes a nail into a plank?

When you bring your bicycle to a stop where does the kinetic energy it had go?
When you bring your bicycle to a stop, the kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat and sound. Friction between the bike's wheels and the ground dissipates the kinetic energy as heat, while the braking mechanism may also convert some of it into sound energy.
What is kinetic and sound energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy caused by the vibration of particles in a medium that creates sound waves.
Why does kinetic energy affect sound?
Kinetic energy affects sound because sound is created by vibrations in particles of a medium, such as air. When an object with kinetic energy moves through this medium, it causes the particles to vibrate and propagate in wave form, creating sound. The amount of kinetic energy determines the intensity and frequency of the sound produced.

Is sound energy kinetic energy?
Yes, sound energy is kinetic energy.
What is the difference between potenntial and kinetic energy?
Potential energy is energy that is being stored weather it be stored in chemical bonds the stretching or compressing of an object etc. Kinetic energy is energy being used in someway by creating heat, sound, motion etc.
What form of energy does a horse have as it runs?
It has kinetic and sound energy.
When might kinetic energy turn into sound energy?
Kinetic energy turns into sound energy when an object in motion interacts with air molecules, causing them to vibrate and create sound waves. This can happen when an object moves quickly or collides with another object, converting its kinetic energy into sound energy.

Why is sound energy kinetic energy?
Sound is the movement of a medium at frequencies we can hear. As it always involves movement of a medium, either a solid, liquid or gas to be transmitted it will involve kinetic energy at times. Note that kinetic energy is the energy stored in a moving mass. Sound waves carry energy with a combination of both kinetic and potential energy. There are two moments in every cycle where there is no movement and therefore no kinetic energy. These two points are at the upper and lower peaks of the wave.
What are Kind of kinetic energy?
The four kinds of kinetic energy are mechanical,sound, electrical and thermal energy.
Does potential energy equal kinetic energy plus heat and sound?
Normally the heat and sound are forms of energy wasted in the conversion from potential to kinetic energy. By the conservation of energy principle the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy not withstanding energy losses.
