Kinetically: meaning, definitions and examples
๐โโ๏ธ
kinetically
[ kษชหnษtษชkli ]
physical movement
Kinetically refers to something that is characterized by motion or movement. It is often used in scientific contexts, particularly in physics, to describe the energy an object possesses due to its motion. The term is derived from kinetic energy, which is the energy an object has because of its speed and mass. Kinetically can also be used in a broader sense to emphasize action or dynamic processes in various fields such as art and dance.
Synonyms
actively, dynamically, motionally
Examples of usage
- The ball moved kinetically across the field.
- The dancers performed kinetically, capturing the audience's attention.
- In this experiment, the molecules will react kinetically.
- The sculpture was designed to respond kinetically to the wind.

Etymology
The term 'kinetically' originates from the Greek word 'kineticus', which means 'moving, putting in motion, or active'. The root of this term is 'kinesis', which also comes from Greek and translates to 'movement'. The use of 'kinetic' in the context of physics became prominent in the 19th century, especially with the development of the laws of motion by Sir Isaac Newton. Kinetic energy, the energy of motion, was formalized in the early 20th century as part of the broader field of classical mechanics. As such, 'kinetically' has evolved to describe not only physical movement but also actions and processes in various fields, extending its relevance in areas like dance, animation, and mechanics.
