noun kinetic energies

  1. countable, uncountable The energy possessed by an object because of its motion, equal (nonrelativistically) to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed. These units are the electrogyros, which work first as motors, taking electrical energy from a three-phase supply, and converting it into kinetic energy, which is stored in the flywheels.
  2. countable, uncountable Energetic fast-paced activity. Reeves' action moves and his sincerity, even when Wick is at his most stern, perfectly capture the blend of emotion and kinetic energy that define the films.
