Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy: We all know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it changes its forms. Similarly, kinetic energy also transforms from one form to another. The motion ...

Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it has because of its motion. For example, in order to lift a heavy object, we must do work to overcome ...

Michael Graham Richard is a writer from Ottawa, Ontario. He worked for Treehugger for 11 years, covering science, technology, and transportation. So what is kinetic energy? There's motion everywhere ...

Energy is the capacity for doing work. Potential energy is the kind of energy that is at rest. When that energy goes into motion, it is called kinetic energy. A big rock sitting on the top of a cliff ...

JONNY NELSON: Energy. There are lots of different types and lots of different ways of storing it. Chemical energy in a sparkler, elastic potential energy that fires a toy into the air, and many, many ...
