Is it possible to feel kinetic energy?

Question

Is that what I feel in the air right before or after a storm? If not, what is it called?

Answer 1

If you've ever been hit by a gust of wind or a bullet, you've felt the effects of kinetic energy.

Answer 2

Kinetic energy can be felt on a roller coaster. Kinetic energy is when something moves and potential energy is when something is still. If you're in a roller coaster, you'll feel the kinetic energy.

Answer 3

Others have said it, kinetic energy is motion energy, so that is not what you feel.

I suppose you are thinking of static electricity, which increases before a storm. That may be what you feel. Or the effect of rapidly falling air pressure, which also indicates an approaching storm.

Answer 4

Energy is not tangible.

Thus it is impossible to feel kinetic energy.

Answer 5

Also if you've been hit in the face with a shovel , that counts too

Answer 6

Energy is a property of matter.

You feel energy THROUGH its effects on matter:

Examples of kinetic energy in

- gas: wind

- liquid: ocean waves

- solid: sudden movements of a car or bus

Answer 7

You cannot feel the kinetic energy of a moving object,  but you feel the force that results from a collision.
