Question

Define kinetic energy and give some examples of a body
possessing kinetic energy. State mathematically kinetic energy
of a body.

Answer 1

Answer:

Kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by it due to its state of motion.

Example-In a swinging pendulum moving to and fro, the bob has the kinetic energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

The energy of a body in motion is called its kinetic energy. It is defined as follows : Kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by it due to its state of motion. Actually it is the work done on the body bringing it to the state of motion. In short form it is written as K.E. or K. Example : In a swinging pendulum moving to and fro the bob has the kinetic energy.
