Kinetic Energy Transformation
- Kinetic energy transformation is possible between objects and also among different forms of energy. Dropping the ball is a very good example of kinetic energy transformation.
- When the ball is resting in hand, the energy contained in the ball is the potential energy due to its height.
- When it is dropped, the potential energy starts converting into kinetic energy due to its motion. When the ball is about to reach the ground, the entire potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy is the energy associated with an object moving with a velocity. For an object of mass m and velocity, its kinetic energy is half of the product of the mass of the object with the square of its velocity. In our daily life, we observe kinetic energy while walking, cycling, throwing a ball, and others.
