              their effects.                        --Paley.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. Power efficiently and forcibly exerted; vigorous or
        effectual operation; as, the energy of a magistrate.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. Strength of expression; force of utterance; power to

        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The kinetic energy of a body is the energy it has in
           virtue of being in motion. It is measured by one half
           of the product of the mass of each element of the body
           multiplied by the square of the velocity of the
           element, relative to some given body or point. The
           available kinetic energy of a material system
           unconnected with any other system is that energy which
           is due to the motions of the parts of the system
           relative to its center of mass. The potential energy of
           a body or system is that energy which is not kinetic;
           -- energy due to configuration. Kinetic energy is
           sometimes called actual energy. Kinetic energy is
           exemplified in the vis viva of moving bodies, in heat,
           electric currents, etc.; potential energy, in a bent
           spring, or a body suspended a given distance above the
           earth and acted on by gravity.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     Accumulation, Conservation, Correlation, & Degradation
     of energy, etc. (Physics) See under Accumulation,
        Conservation, Correlation, etc.
  
     Syn: Force; power; potency; vigor; strength; spirit;
          efficiency; resolution.
          [1913 Webster]
