Most of our picks are sizable metropolises â Honolulu, Seattle, Minneapolis and Tucson â although others, like Missoula, Mont., have more of a small town feel. To make our list, cities had to be in or near great nature areas, ranging from Alaska to Florida. We picked places that offer opportunities to view abundant wildlife, and vistas of undeveloped land that inspire.
1 Kinetic energy is energy in motion while potential energy is energy at rest. 2  The term âkinetic energyâ was coined by William Thomson while âpotential energyâ was coined by William Rankine.  Examples of kinetic energy are: a teacher writing on the blackboard, picking up a pencil, playing basketball.
Next, there are two main types of mechanical energy: kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object. Therefore, any object that moves has kinetic energy.
