kinetic energies

Movement-based stored forces

Kinetic energies is the plural of kinetic energy, the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

The faster something moves or the more massive it is, the greater its kinetic energy.

In physics, it's calculated as half the mass times velocity squared.

The plural appears when comparing different objects or states: The kinetic energies of the molecules increase as temperature rises.
