Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. An object which has motion - whether it be vertical or horizontal motion - has kinetic energy. One example is when the cars of a roller coaster reach their maximum kinetic energy when at the bottom of their path.

Kenetic energy is energy in moiton. When a car is moving it has kenetic motion. Also when i am running i have kenetic energy.

Kinetic energy is energy in motion. Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity. The equation for kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2. Kinetic energy is measured in joules.

Kenetic energy is energy in motion. When a ball is rolled on the ground it has kenetic energy.

Kinetic energy is energy in motion. An object with motion has kinetic energy. An object at rest has potential energy. When a car is moving you have kenetic energy.

It is energy in motion. When teh car is moving it has kinetic motion. When you are running it is KE.

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object that is due to the object's motion. An object in motion has kinetic energy. A car going down a hill reaches its max kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill.
