Definitions of kinetic energy
Definition that contains kinetic energy
  • transport an exchange of molecules (and their kinetic energy and momentum) across the boundary between adjacent layers of a fluid or across cell membranes
  • accelerator a scientific instrument that increases the kinetic energy of charged particles
  • turbine rotary engine in which the kinetic energy of a moving fluid is converted into mechanical energy by causing a bladed rotor to rotate
  • flywheel regulator consisting of a heavy wheel that stores kinetic energy and smooths the operation of a reciprocating engine
  • kinetic theory of heat a theory that the temperature of a body increases when kinetic energy increases
  • particle accelerator a scientific instrument that increases the kinetic energy of charged particles
  • atom smasher a scientific instrument that increases the kinetic energy of charged particles
  • hydraulic pump a water pump that uses the kinetic energy of flowing water to force a small fraction of that water to a reservoir at a higher level
  • hydraulic ram a water pump that uses the kinetic energy of flowing water to force a small fraction of that water to a reservoir at a higher level
  • absolute zero (cryogenics) the lowest temperature theoretically attainable (at which the kinetic energy of atoms and molecules is minimal); 0 Kelvin or -273.15 centigrade or -459.67 Fahrenheit
