Roller coaster
Energi kinetik, Ek, yakni energi yang dihasilkan oleh roller coaster karena geraknya (dalam hal ini kecepatan), bernilai nol di posisi puncak lintasan. Energi kinetik bernilai maksimum di posisi “lembah’ (posisi terendah) lintasan. Energi kinetik diubah menjadi energi potensial, ketika roller coaster bergerak menaik.
Teori kinetika gas
In 1738 Daniel Bernoulli published "aril saruan", which laid the basis for the kinetic theory of gases. In this work, Bernoulli positioned the argument, still used to this day, that gases consist of great numbers of molecules moving in all directions, that their impact on a surface causes the gas pressure that we feel, and that what we experience as heat is simply the kinetic energy of their motion. The theory was not immediately accepted, in part because conservation of energy had not yet been established, and it was not obvious to physicists how the collisions between molecules could be perfectly elastic.
