Visual science, energy kinetic (19/40) A moving object or particle posses kinetic energy this energy depends not solely on its motion but also on its mass. The kind of motion could be translation that is motion along a path from one place to another, the energy could be vibrational or rotation about an axis, the energy is often made up of a combination of these. In this case where the object is rolling without slipping, then its kinetic energy is expressed as the sum of the translational kinetic energy of its center of mass plus the rotational kinetic energy around the center of mass.
