Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It is a scalar quantity that depends on the mass and velocity of the object.
Kinetic energy is calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity.
Some examples of kinetic energy in everyday life include a moving car, a swinging pendulum, a bouncing ball, or a person running.
Yes, kinetic energy can be converted into other forms of energy such as potential energy, thermal energy, or electrical energy. For example, when a ball is thrown upwards, its kinetic energy is converted into potential energy as it gains height.
According to the kinetic theory of gases, temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance. This means that as temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of molecules also increases.
