Answer 2

Kinetic Energy:-

❁ It is the energy possessed by the body virtue of its motion .

$\huge \text{Examples:-}$

❁ flowing water possesses kinetic energy (This kinetic energy is used to run water Mills).

❁ Moving air (wind) possesses kinetic energy. (This kinetic energy is used to run windmills)

❁ A moving hammer possesses kinetic energy. (This kinetic energy is used to drive the nails into wood)

❁ A bullet fired from a gun possesses kinetic energy. (Due to this kinetic energy the bullet penetrates into a target).
