PHENOMINA USING KINETIC ENERGY
kinetic energy is a crucial component that drives motion and enables various processes to occur.
-
When a car or bike is moving, it has kinetic energy.
The faster it goes, the more kinetic energy it has. This energy is what causes the vehicle to keep moving.
-
When you apply the brakes, the kinetic energy is converted into heat
energy due to friction between the brake pads and the wheels, slowing the vehicle down.
-
When a player kicks a ball, they transfer kinetic energy from their leg to the ball, causing it to move.
-
When a bat hits a ball, the kinetic energy from the swinging bat is transferred to the ball, making it fly through the air.
-
Wind turbines harness the kinetic energy of moving air (wind) to generate electricity.
The wind's kinetic energy turns the
turbine blades, which spin a generator to produce electricity.
-
In a hydropower plant, the kinetic energy of flowing water is used to generate electricity.
The moving water spins turbines, which in turn drive generators.
-
As a roller coaster descends, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing it to speed up.
-
When you throw a ball, the kinetic energy from your arm is transferred to the ball, propelling it through the air.
-
Your body converts stored energy (from food) into kinetic energy to move.
-
Pedaling a bike converts your muscle energy into kinetic energy, propelling the bike forward.
