I dont know about kenetic energy but I did see something once that resembled the refective pattern of light on a lake once. Someone told me that it was kenetic energy. can it be visible in the air? I saw something and cant explain it. can ultra violet light or any gas make this type of energy visible?

Absolutely not. The effects of kinetic energy, like the movement of air particles and objects, can clearly be seen, but kinetic energy itself cannot be seen.
Kinetic energy is not a physical object, it is a model for describing the motion and interaction of objects.

Shock waves from explosions are visible examples of kinetic energy in air molecules. When the air from an explsion expands, it forces the air around it to expand too which bends the light to make it visible to us.

yes. through movements of the objects involved. kinetic energy can be released in the form of motion.

um im pretty sure you cant see kenetic energy... but if you can awesome

one of my kids in school did an experiment with a balloon and a flouresent light, they rubbed the balloon on their head and put it near the light...try it!
