In this particular system, the absolute temperature of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules. |
The energy flow resulting from transforming kinetic energy into potential energy is heat. |
The molecules convert their kinetic energy into potential energy when they rise into the air just like the ball did. |
As the beam bit into the front of the missile launcher, the protons shed their immense kinetic energy in the form of infrared radiation. |
When you picked up the clip with the magnet the clip was accelerated toward the magnet acquiring kinetic energy. |
A moving particle will carry with it the energy of its motion, which the physicists call kinetic energy. |
