Exploring Energy: Investigating Kinetic Energy

The video tutorial explains the two main types of energy: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is associated with moving objects, such as cars and people, and is sometimes called the energy of motion. Objects with kinetic energy can perform work, like a hammer driving a nail. Everyday activities like moving, eating, and writing involve kinetic energy.
