Answer:
Kinetic energy - The energy possessed by virtue of its motion is said to be kinetic energy. K E = 1/2mv2.
Derivation :
We know that, W = f x s. but f = ma.
Explanation:
Potential energy is the energy possessed by the body by virtue of its position or configuration.
Consider a body of mass m at a height 'h' from the ground.
The amount of work done to raise this body
to this height h against the force of gravity: W = F xhwhere F is the force of gravity
W = mgh
