Energy in the form of motion is called kinetic energy. It can be transformed to other types of energy, such as heat energy or electric energy.
This form of energy is produced by the random motion of atoms and molecules of substances. The more vigorous the movement of its atoms and molecules, the hotter a substance becomes. The movement requires the input of energy - which can be in another form (other than heat) such as longer-wavelength solar energy. Heat energy can be transmitted from one body/substance to another by conduction, convection, or radiation. Heat energy can be used to perform mechanical work. 6.
