Kinetic energy is observable as motion of an object, particle, or set of

particles. Examples include the falling of an object in a gravitational field, the

motion of a charged particle in an electric field, and the rapid motion
of atoms or molecules when an object is at a temperature above zero Kelvin.
Matter is equivalent to energy in the sense that the two are related by the
Einstein equation:
E = mc2
where E is the energy in joules, m is the mass in kilograms, and c is
the speed of light, equal to approximately 2.99792 x 108 meters per second.
In electrical circuits, energy is a measure of power expended over time. In
this sense, one joule (1 J) is equivalent to one watt (1 W) dissipated or
radiated for one second (1 s). A common unit of energy in electric utilities is
the kilowatt-hour (kWh), which is the equivalent of one kilowatt (kW)
dissipated or expended for one hour (1 h). Because 1 kW = 1000 W and 1 h
= 3600 s, 1 kWh = 3.6 x 106 J.
Heat energy is occasionally specified in British thermal units (Btu) by
nonscientists, where 1 Btu is approximately equal to 1055 J. The heating or
cooling capability of a climate-control system may be quoted in Btu, but this
is technically a misuse of the term. In this sense, the system manufacturer or
vendor is actually referring to Btu per hour (Btu/h), a measure of heating or
cooling power.
