I also looked up the kinetic activation you speak of. Kinetic activation is instant. It requires no work no built up. Kinetic accumulation however requires built up. It requires time and effort. On the flips side, kinetic activation has a limit to how much kinetic energy they can put in an object. If they didn't, the universe will be obliterated. However Kinetic accumulation is something that adds up overtime. It doesn't have that limitation, it just takes longer. I also thought of another example on why kinetic and speed is different. Let's remove the element of gravity and air resistance. Adding speed will make an object travel through space go faster but at the same force. Adding kinetic energy will add more force but keep the object traveling at the same speed. The reason why kinetic energy gets speed on earth is because the energy allows them to push through air resistance and the force of gravity more easily. Without gravity or air resistance, all travel objects wouldn't lose speed. They're is no friction to slow them down. Thus the kinetic energy will be constant.

I originally came to this page to understand kinetic accumulation better. But by hopefully teaching you the difference between kinetic energy and speed, I've gain that understanding when the page failed me.
