kinetic energy (redirected from Translational kinetic energy)

energy /en·er·gy/ (en´er-je) power which may be translated into motion, overcoming resistance, or effecting physical change; the ability to do work. Symbol E.

---

free energy , Gibbs free energy (G ) that equal to the maximum amount of work that can be obtained from a process occurring under conditions of fixed temperature and pressure.

kinetic energy  the energy of motion.

nuclear energy  energy that can be liberated by changes in the nucleus of an atom (as by fission of a heavy nucleus or fusion of light nuclei into heavier ones with accompanying loss of mass).

potential energy  energy at rest or not manifested in actual work.

vital energy  see under force.

kinetic energy

n.

The energy possessed by a body because of its motion, equal to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed.

kinetic energy (KE)

Etymology: Gk, kinesis, motion, energeia

the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. It is expressed by the formula KE = (½)mv², where m represents the mass of the object and v is its velocity.

kinetic energy,

n a property of a particle that describes the energy of motion and directly correlates with the particle's rate of motion. For example, transfer of gaseous particles is an important factor in the field of aromatherapy.
