The external and internal work done on a mass is equal to the change of kinetic energy produced.
In all such cases, the presence of a second body is a necessary condition; and the amount of kinetic energy, which its presence enables the first to gain, is strictly dependent on the relative positions of the two.
But experience furnishes innumerable examples of the production of kinetic energy in a body previously at rest, when no impact is discernible as the cause of that energy.
Consequently, the 'attractive forces' of the bob and the earth are now acting against it, and constitute a resistance which the charge of kinetic energy has to overcome.
Again, work done in winding up the spring of a clock is stored up in the form of potential energy, and gradually runs out in the form of motion or kinetic energy.
Potential energy is really the complementary principle of kinetic energy.
Electro-Kinetic energy is, which term is used by Clerk Maxwell, the term being brought for the first time into harmony with our experience.
That is to say, the amount of potential energy lost by any body, is equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained by the other body, to which the energy has been transferred.
What used to be called the "vis viva" of a body is double what is now called the energy of motion, or kinetic energy, of the body.
Coming to the earth as kinetic energy, it is transformed into potential energy and stored in the compounds of plants and in the oxygen of the air.
The change of one form of kinetic energy to another may be illustrated by rubbing together two pieces of wood until they are heated, by ringing a bell, and by causing motion in air or in water by heating them.
The oxidations at the cells are, therefore, under such control that the quantity of kinetic energysupplied to the body as a whole, and to the different organs, is proportional to the work that is done.
The amount of kinetic energyin a body may be measured by the amount of work done to put it in motion.
Conversely, as the ball returns to the ground its potential energy is changed to kinetic energy.
The kinetic energyof a body is the energy it has in virtue of being in motion.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "kinetic energy" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
