Refers to the Seiko line of Kinetic watches This innovative technology has a quartz movement that does not use a battery Movement of your wrist charges a very efficient capacitor which powers the quartz movement Once the capacitor is fully charged, mens models will store energy for 7-14 days without being worn Ladies models store energy for 3-7 days Of course, if the watch is worn every day the capacitor is continually recharged The watch alerts you to a low capacitor charge when the seconds hand starts to move in two second intervals For more information, click to go to Seiko's Internet Site

kinetic energies
plural form of kinetic energy
kinetic energy
The energy possessed by an object because of its motion, equal to one half the mass of the body times the square of its velocity
kinetic temperature
a measure of the energy of motion possessed by a substance; especially a function of the root mean square velocity of the molecules of a gas
kinetic temperatures
plural form of kinetic temperature
kinetic art
any type of art that incorporates motion or movement
kinetic art
An art form, such as an assemblage or sculpture, made up of parts designed to be set in motion by an internal mechanism or an external stimulus, such as light or air.kinetic artist n
kinetic energy
the mechanical energy that a body has by virtue of its motion
kinetic energy
In physics, kinetic energy is the energy that is produced when something moves. The energy possessed by a body because of its motion, equal to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed. Form of energy that an object has by reason of its motion. The kind of motion may be translation (motion along a path from one place to another), rotation about an axis, vibration, or any combination of motions. The total kinetic energy of a body or system is equal to the sum of the kinetic energies resulting from each type of motion. The kinetic energy of an object depends on its mass and velocity. For instance, the amount of kinetic energy KE of an object in translational motion is equal to one-half the product of its mass m and the square of its velocity v, or KE = 1 2 mv^2, provided the speed is low relative to the speed of light. At higher speeds, relativity changes the relationship
kinetic energy
energy produced by motion
kinetic sculpture
Sculpture in which movement (as of a motor-driven part or a changing electronic image) is a basic element. Actual movement became an important aspect of sculpture in the 20th century. Pioneers such as Naum Gabo, Marcel Duchamp, László Moholy-Nagy, and Alexander Calder produced movement by such means as water, mechanical devices, and air currents (as in Calder's mobiles). Neo-Dadaist works such as Jean Tinguely's self-destructing Homage to New York (1960) embody the concept of a sculpture that functions as both an object and an event a "happening
kinetic theory
A theory concerning the thermodynamic behavior of matter, especially the relationships among pressure, volume, and temperature in gases. It is based on the dependence of temperature on the kinetic energy of the rapidly moving particles of a substance. According to the theory, energy and momentum are conserved in all collisions between particles, and the average behavior of the particles can be deduced by statistical analysis
kinetic theory
theory that states that all bodies are composed of many tiny particles in motion
kinetic theory
(physics) a theory that gases consist of small particles in random motion
kinetic theory of gases
Theory based on a simple description of a gas, from which many properties of gases can be derived. Established primarily by James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann, the theory is one of the most important concepts in modern science. The simplest kinetic model is based on the assumptions that (1) a gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving in random directions, separated by distances that are large compared to their size; (2) the molecules undergo perfectly elastic (no energy loss) collisions with each other and with the walls of the container; and (3) the transfer of kinetic energy between molecules is heat. This model describes a perfect gas but is a reasonable approximation to a real gas. Using the kinetic theory, scientists can relate the independent motion of molecules of gases to their pressure, volume, temperature, viscosity, and heat conductivity
kinetic theory of heat
a theory that the temperature of a body increases when kinetic energy increases
eddy kinetic energy
The energy associated with the turbulent part of the flow of a fluid
kinetics
