Kinetic EnergyNoun1. The mechanical energy that a body has by virtue of its motion. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |
| Domain | Definitions |
Aerospace | The energy which a body possesses as a consequence of its motion, defined as one-half the product of its mass m and the square of its speed v, 1/2 mv2. The kinetic energy per unit volume of a fluid parcel is the 1/2 p v2 , where p is the density and v the speed of the parcel. See potential energy. For relativistic speeds the kinetic energy is given by Ek = mc2 - m0c2where c is the velocity of light in a vacuum, m0 is the rest mass, and m is the moving mass.Symbol Ek. (references) |
Building & Civil Engineering | The energy is called "kinetic" when it depends solely on the movements of its different parts(electrons included). Source: European Union. (references) |
Electrical Engineering | Energy possessed by a mass because of its motion e. g. the falling water of a dam has the energy to put turbines into motion. Source: European Union. (references) |
Energy | Energy available as a result of motion that varies directly in proportion to an object's mass and the square of its velocity. (references) |
| The energy that a body possesses by virtue of its mass and velocity. Also called the energy of motion. (references) | |
Environment | Energy possessed by a moving object or water body. (references) |
Mining | The form of mechanical energy a body possesses by virtue of its velocity. The kinetic energy of a body, or the energy of motion, is the work done by it, or against it, in coming to rest. Water flowing through pipes or air flowing through a mine roadway possesses kinetic energy.See also:velocity head. (references) |
Space | Energy stored in the motion of a mechanical systeme.g. by a rolling car, or a turning flywheel. (references) |
| Temperature of gases causes an increase in the amount of energy in the gas. (references) | |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In physics, kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion. In Newtonian mechanics, a body with mass m, moving in a straight line with velocity v, has a translational kinetic energy of
In Einstein's relativistic mechanics, the kinetic energy of a body is
where m is its total mass, m0 is its mass (or rest mass), and c is the speed of light in vacuum. Relativity theory states that the total mass of an object grows towards infinity as its velocity approaches the speed of light, and thus that it is impossible to accelerate an object beyond this boundary.
Where gravity is weak, and objects move at much slower velocities than light (e.g. in everyday phenomena on Earth), Newton's formula is an excellent approximation of relativistic kinetic energy.
