What is another word for kinetic energy?
Pronunciation: [kɪnˈɛtɪk ˈɛnəd͡ʒi] (IPA) 
Kinetic energy refers to the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. There are a few synonyms that can be used to describe this type of energy. One such synonym is mechanical energy, which encompasses both kinetic and potential energy. Another synonym for kinetic energy is motion energy, which refers specifically to the energy that an object has by virtue of its movement. Finally, there is translational energy, which is a synonym that refers to the energy associated with the movement of an object through space, without necessarily taking into account its rotation or vibration. These synonyms all refer to the same fundamental concept of energy that is associated with the motion of an object.
