Kinetic energy is energy that an object or person possesses as a result of movement. Mathematically, it can be shown as half the object's mass multiplied by its speed squared. The kinetic energy of an object is given by the equation: Ek = ½mv 2 Where m represents mass and v represents the speed of the object or person. There are many forms of kinetic energy, and they are: Vibrational: The energy resulting from …

…kinetic energy will be changed into potential internal energy. The closest you can possibly get to an elastic collision in a collision is when you are playing snooker. All the balls have the same mass and a hard outside, so when the balls hit one another, they will bounce off with almost equal speed. Different types of energy can be produced in a vehicle collision, like thermal energy, sound energy and potential energy of deformation.
