Kinetic energy (also called vis viva, or living force) is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion. The kinetic energy of a body is equal to the amount of work needed to establish its velocity and rotation, starting from rest.

kinetic energy
(kih-net-ik) [Gk. kinetikos, putting in motion]
The energy of motion, which is directly related to the speed of that motion. Moving matter does work by transferring some of its kinetic energy to other matter.

Water has kinetic energy because the molecules are constantly in motion. The molecules of hot water have greater movement than those of cold water, thus, hot water has more energy.
The exact quantity of kinetic energy, associated with its location in a given time and space is known as a microstate of the energetic molecules (or thermodynamic systems).
Kinetic energy is energy in use (or motion). A tank of gasoline has a certain potential energy that is converted into kinetic energy by the engine. When the potential is used up, you're outta gas! ...
The batteries are used, giving up their potential energy until it has all been converted into kinetic energy and heat/unusable energy. Recharged batteries (into which energy has been put) can be used only after the input of additional energy.

The kinetic energy of impacting ions is converted into heat when ions strike a detector and we are attempting to measure indirectly such heat pulses.
