Question

The movement of atoms is an example of what type of energy?

Answer 1

Well, typically, the movement of any object is associated with kinetic energy.
You should be able to determine from a quick Google search that kinetic means "of, relating to, or resulting from motion."
Since kinetic energy
K
is associated with motion, it has something to do with momentum
p
. In fact, for an object with a constant mass:

p
=
m
→
v
Δ
K

... the change in kinetic energy occurs in accordance with a change in the velocity over the course of an object's forward momentum.
