Energy in action is another way of saying kinetic energy. It's the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
Here are some examples of energy in action:
* A moving car: The car's motion means it has kinetic energy.
* A rolling ball: The ball's movement gives it kinetic energy.
* A flying bird: The bird's wings flapping and movement through the air demonstrate kinetic energy.
* A flowing river: The water molecules in the river are in motion, displaying kinetic energy.
* A spinning top: The top's rotation is a form of kinetic energy.
Key points about kinetic energy:
* It depends on mass and velocity: The heavier the object and the faster it's moving, the more kinetic energy it has.
* It can be transferred: Energy can be transferred from one object to another, for example, when a moving ball hits a stationary one.
* It's related to work: Kinetic energy is the energy involved in doing work (moving something).
