Question

Give few examples of kinetic energy.


Open in App
Solution

Kinetic energy

  1. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, which can be observed as an item, particle, or group of particles moving.
  2. The kinetic energy of an object is a measurement of how much work it can do just by moving.
  3. Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity that may be defined fully by magnitude.

The formula for kinetic energy

KE=12mv2[whereKE=kineticenergy,m=mass,v=velocity]

Examples of kinetic energy

  1. A bullet traveling through the air is moving. This energy is subsequently delivered as harm to the item the bullet strikes.
  2. Since a truck's mass is substantially greater than a car's, a truck driving down the road has more kinetic energy than a car moving at the same speed.
