EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cool Facts. All objects have kinetic energy, no matter their size – that means kinetic energy can be found in something as tiny as an atom and as huge as a planet!

Detailed explanation-3: -An object that is not moving has zero kinetic energy. Stationary objects possess potential energy (the other main type of energy). Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when a force such as gravity acts upon the object to set it in motion.

Detailed explanation-4: -The energy associated with an object’s motion is called kinetic energy. A speeding bullet, a walking person, and electromagnetic radiation like light all have kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -An object in motion has energy. This energy of motion is called kinetic energy. Because all matter has mass, all moving material objects have kinetic energy. Such examples of kinetic energy would include a football moving through the air, a dancer spinning, or an ant crawling across the floor.
