English-Italian translations for kinetic energy

• energia cinetica
  A causa della sua energia cinetica, anche un missile di calibro molto piccolo può pertanto penetrare la corazzatura di un carro armato. Due to its kinetic energy, even a very small calibre missile can therefore penetrate a tank's armour plating.
  Per penetrare le nuove corazzature occorrono invece armi ad energia cinetica, note come proiettili a freccia. New types of armour-plating, however, can only be pierced by weapons powered by kinetic energy. These are known as arrow shells.
