kinetic energyin a sentence
-
A large ball may not fall faster than a small one, but it has more kinetic energy.
kinetic energy = the energy a moving object has because of its motion
- The pendulum repeatedly converts potential energy to kinetic energy and then back.
-
The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy is what drives the roller coaster, and all of the kinetic energy you need for the ride is present once the coaster descends the first hill… Once you're underway, different types of wheels help keep the ride smooth.
