Kinetic Energy

&
Potential Energy
Kinetic energy is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the
energy transferred to an object due to its motion. In order to
accelerate an object, force must be applied, which involves
performing work. When work is done on an object, energy is
transferred, resulting in the object moving with a new speed. This
transferred energy is known as kinetic energy and is determined by
the object’s mass and the speed it achieves.
It is important to note that kinetic energy is a scalar quantity,
meaning it is solely described by its magnitude and does not have a
directional component.
Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of an
object, obtained by performing work on it. It depends on both the
mass of the object and the square of its speed.
Types of Kinetic Energy

Translational Kinetic Energy


This refers to the energy associated with the linear motion of an object. It is the
most familiar type of kinetic energy and is observed when objects move in a
straight line

Rotational Kinetic Energy


This type of kinetic energy is exhibited by objects that are rotating or spinning
around an axis. Examples include spinning tops, wheels, or rotating machinery.
Vibrational Kinetic Energy
Vibrational kinetic energy is related to the oscillatory motion of particles within
a system. It is observed in vibrating strings, molecules, or atoms that are in a
state of vibration.

Thermal Kinetic Energy


Thermal kinetic energy is associated with the random motion of particles within
a substance. It is responsible for the temperature and heat transfer in a material.
The faster the particles move, the higher the thermal kinetic energy.
Electrical Kinetic Energy
Electrical kinetic energy is related to the movement of charged particles,
such as electrons, in an electric current. It is utilized in various electrical
devices and is a form of energy transfer.
Potential energy takes many forms. It can be chemical, electrical
potential energy, or mechanical potential energy. Also, there are two
forms of mechanical potential energy: gravitational potential energy
and elastic potential energy.
