What would the kinetic energy of a rock sitting on the ground be?
Zero. You need to think in terms of "frame of reference" as in what are you comparing the rock to. If you are an observer sitting next to the rock then the kinetic energy of the rock RELATIVE TO YOU is zero - I.E. the rock isn't moving relative to you and thus has no kinetic energy - energy of motion - relative to you. If you are an observer sitting a million miles from earth watching the rock then it is zipping around at 1000 miles per hour as the earth spins on its axis and it has significant kinetic energy RELATIVE TO YOU.

What object carries the greatest amount of kinetic energy?
An object with the greatest amount of kinetic energy would be one that is both heavy and moving at a high speed. For example, a speeding bullet or a fast-moving train would carry a significant amount of kinetic energy due to their mass and velocity.
Which has the most kinetic energy a 1000 kg car traveling 30 ms or a car traveling 45 ms?
WOW, 5 MILES PER SECOND. I guess that I would have to calculate the miles per hour. To do this, we must multiply 5 miles per second times 3600(the number of seconds in an hour). That is 18000 miles per hour. I like to work in the SI system, so by converting this to meters per second, we get 8.04672E3 meters per second. Kinetic energy is defined as one half mvsquared. The Kinetic Energy is equal to 3.2374E10 Joules.
What has the most mechanical kinetic energy?
a car going 60 miles per hour
What energy transformation is it when a driver fills his car with gas then drives three hundred miles?
The major conversions are chemical energy in the fuel to heat energy in the cylinders to kinetic energy of the car. Other changes involved include chemical energy in the driver's food to kinetic energy in his muscles to operate the pump, and electrical energy in the pump to kinetic energy of the fuel as it flows into the car.

Describe the change in kinetic energy when the temperature of an object increases?
The more an objects kinetic energy increases the more it's temperature increases. An object that is traveling at 30 miles per hour will have a higher temperature than an object traveling at 10 miles per hour. This is in part due to friction. Mostly however, it is due to the fact that kinetic energy excites atoms in the object raising the objects temperature. You could put it like this: temperature = energy + atoms. Hope this helps.
What has greater kinetic energy a car traveling at 35 miles per hour or a car traveling at 50 miles per hour?
Kinetic Energy is defined as the energy associated with motion. This is in contrast to potential energy which is associated with an entity's energy at rest, and it's potential for motion. Kinetic Energy can be calculated using this formula: KE = 0.5*Mass*Velocity^2, where KE = Kinetic Energy It is apparent by the formula that the same car traveling at a higher speed will have a greater kinetic energy than it does when traveling at a lower speed. Therefore, when the car travels at 50 mi/hr it has a higher kinetic energy than when it travels at 35 mi/hr. Let me just note that if we were talking about two different cars then we'd have to consider the weights of the cars.
Define kinetic energy in terms of temperature?
The reverse is usually done .... Define temperature in terms of KE. The temperature of a body is proportional the the average Kinetic Energy of the particles (molecules or atoms) that make up the body. Can't be done the other way because a car traveling at 60 miles per hour has Kinetic energy which has nothing to do with temperature. The car doesn't care if is 100 degrees or 20 degrees.
Measures how fast air molecules are moving?
A thermometer. Temperture is the measure of the kinetic energy, Aka speed, of molecules.
A girl who weighs 30 kilos in an inline skating at the speed of 5 miles what is her kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy of the girl can be calculated using the formula: KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2. Converting her weight from kilos to pounds (1 kilo ≈ 2.205 pounds), she weighs approximately 66.1 pounds. Plugging in the values (mass = 66.1 lbs and velocity = 5 miles per hour), the kinetic energy can be calculated in joules.
What is the kinetic energy of a 5 kg cat chasing a mouse across the yard at 2 miles per second?
kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass *(velocity)^2 = 1/2 * 5 * 2 * 2 = 10 joules
