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.
A system possesses energy if it has the ability to do work. Work shifts energy from one system to another. Energy isâ¦ a scalar quantity, abstract and cannot always be perceived, given meaning through calculation, a central concept in science. Energy can exist in many different forms. All forms of energy are either kinetic or potential. The energy associated with motion is called kinetic energy. The energy associated with position is called potential energy. Potential energy is not stored energy. Energy can be stored in motion just as well as it can be stored in position.
