YOGYAKARTA - Energy is the ability to do a business. The energy that has various forms of objects, one of which is kinetic energy.

To understand it, follow the following understandings, formulas, and examples of kinetic energy that are summarized from various sources.

Kinetic energy is the energy of movement which is also called the energy in the movement or energy related to the movement of an object, as reported by the Encyclopedia Book for the Physics Formula of SMA Class 1, 2, 3.

The size of the kinetic energy contained in an object depends on the mass and speed or speed of the object.

Citing a book entitled Energy and its Amendments published by PPPTK IPA by Drs. Kandi, MA, as well as Drs. Yamin Winduono, M.Pd., the kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the mass of an object and its squared speed.

If an object moves faster, then the kinetic energy of the item will be even greater, and vice versa.

Examples of kinetic energy in everyday life include moving mills, moving cars, cycling, playing yoyo, fired bullets, and so on.

Examples Of Kinetic Energy

1. Sound Energy

The first type of kinetic energy is sound energy. As you know, sound is vibration or movement that comes from various kinds of materials, such as air and water.

An example of sound energy is when another person listens to a gong that is added or hit, if you look at the gong, it can produce sound because there is a trigger, which is added.

It was the stick of the gong that caused the vibration to spread, thus creating something distinctive of the gong.

The energy of sound can be created if something is shaking. It is the vibration of the goods that causes the presence of sound waves. However, sound waves are required to move using air and water, so that they can be heard by humans.

2. Radiation Energy

Radiation energy is one type of kinetic energy that is also commonly mentioned as electromagnetic energy. For example, when you listen to radio, it means that Kaliam is using electromagnetic energy that is happening again. The radiation energy is included in various types of kinetic energy because radiation is also a natural movement during the process of energy change.

Although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, but radiation actually exists around human life. Radiation has various benefits, but it is mandatory in the right amount.

Because the radiance that comes out in large quantities and quickly escapes in the air, it will actually cause dangerous things such as death. In general, radiation or the process of releasing energy can move in the form of particles or rays.

For example, the sun is a source of energy that radiations its energy through particles and light. Radiation has 2 types.

The first is non-ion radiation, namely radiation emitted through waves, a kind of radio wave, ultraviolet or sound wave. This radiation also makes other objects such as radio, cell phones, microwaves or ultrasound machines work.

Non-ion radiation has levels of electromagnetic spectra that tend to be lower. Although large amounts of non-ion radiation can still be at risk for humans. However, non-ion radiation cannot change the chemistry of molecules in humans or objects.

The second type of radiation energy is ion radiation. Some sources of natural ion radiation energy constitute cosmic rays from the sun, stars and elements in the ground.

3. Hot Energy

You may be confused, is the heat energy included in the type of kinetic energy? The answer is definitely yes, maybe you are confused, how is the heat energy included in the kinetic energy and how is the process of moving from kinetic energy that changes or creates heat power?

It should be noted that the heat energy has molecules and atoms that have lightning movement and the atoms and molecules are swiping each other. As previously explained, if the kinetic energy can be generated from the effort of movement by an object.

4. Mechanical Energy

The last type of energy movement is mechanical energy that is placed in an object or in certain objects. When an item moves quickly or fast, the energy that will be generated will also increase.

An example is wheels. When you ride a bicycle or use rollerblading, the sooner you pedal it, the faster the bicycle or roller skating will move. Likewise, bicycles will move slowly if you pedal slowly.

"Talking about energy, it's a good idea to read: 'What Is Energy Conversion' as an additional reference.
