[ noun ] (physics) the mechanical energy that a body has by virtue of its motion
Synonyms Used in print (Raymond C. Binder et al., editors, Proceedings...)Heat_of_condensation ( work function ) plus kinetic_energy of the electrons impinging_on the anode . (Jay C. Harris and John R. Van Wazer, "Detergent...)The crude picture of the detergency process thus_far developed can be represented as : * * f The influence of mechanical action on the particles of free soil may be compared to that of kinetic_energy on a molecular scale . (J. F. Vedder, "Micrometeorites", in Francis S. J...)If such is the case , the particles within a distance of about * * f km of the Earth will have , relative to the Earth , a kinetic_energy less than their potential_energy and they will be captured into orbits about the Earth . The older scales were based on theoretical estimates of the conversion efficiency of kinetic_energy into light . Related terms |
