What are the kinetic energy

n physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion.[1] It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.

In classical mechanics, the kinetic energy of a non-rotating object of mass m traveling at a speed v is {\displaystyle {\begin{smallmatrix}{\frac {1}{2}}mv^{2}\end{smallmatrix}}}{\begin{smallmatrix}{\frac {1}{2}}mv^{2}\end{smallmatrix}}. In relativistic mechanics, this is a good approximation only when v is much less than the speed of light.

The standard unit of kinetic energy is the joule, while the imperial unit of kinetic energy is the foot-pound.

Explanation:

kinetic energy is the energy that an object posses due to their motions.

Explanation:

eg:When you let go of that ball and let it fall, the potential energy converts into kinetic energy, or the energy associated with motion. There are five types of kinetic energy: radiant, thermal, sound, electrical and mechanical.

another example of kinetic energy would be,

kinetic energy   >     moving energy
