The energy an object possesses due to its motion
Kinetic Energy - the energy an object possesses due to its motion
Temperature and Volume for a Gas
Why does the balloon shrink when it enters the liquid nitrogen?
"This happens when you don't properly vent a sealed storage tank before emptying it. Hot gas/air in the sealed container is left to cool. The air pressure difference inside is so great that the structure is compromised."



the energy an object possesses due to its motion



Newton mistakenly believed that the kinetic energy of a moving body was directly related to its velocity.

Helps to develop Conservation of Energy (KE)






A 60.0-kg runner has 1920 joules of kinetic energy.
Find: her speed (V = ?)
K.E. - equivalent to work needed to get an object to a certain speed or to stop it.
P.E. - Equivalent to work needed to get an object to where it is or into its present condition. (spring)
W = 40 J
