Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Among the forms of energy listed, the following can be classified as kinetic energy:
- Radiant energy: This form of energy is carried by electromagnetic waves (like light) and involves the movement of photons.
- Electrical energy: This is related to the movement of electric charges or electrons, which is a form of kinetic energy.
- Sound energy: This energy is produced by vibrating particles, which involves movement and is thus considered kinetic energy.
Other forms, such as nuclear energy, chemical energy, gravitational energy, and elastic energy, involve potential energy rather than kinetic energy.
