Kinetic energy is energy in motion. Which of these isn't in motion?


A lady walking slowly but surely down a street is moving, right? So that isn't right.

A hockey puck sliding on ice has motion.

A man running around a track definitely demonstrates kinetic energy.


But, a baseball glove doesn't. Maybe if it's moving on someone's hand, but by itself, it isn't moving.
