:- What is kinetic energy?

290 viewsOtherPhysics

Like searched the internet and everyone is saying that it is an energy due to speed or something but like I don’t get it. How can something like kinetic energy exists if there is no such thing as speed( I think like speed is no such thing as gravitation or nuclear speed is something else it is not similar like nuclear or gravity)

It’s not speed, it’s velocity, and velocity is a real thing. Velocity is the movement of matter.

When you throw a rock at a window and shatter the window, the energy required to break the window came from the kinetic energy of the rock. 

The faster you throw the rock, or the more mass the rock has (ie a bigger more massive rock) the more kinetic energy the rock has.
