Question

what is kinetic energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion.

Answer 2

The ability of a body to do work due to its speed alone is called kinetic energy.

     Kinetic Energy (KE) = $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

where, m = mass of the body; = velocity of the body

Examples of Kinetic Energy

• A bullet fired from a gun can penetrate through a target, whereas a stationary bullet cannot. A high speed bullet is able to do some work due to the kinetic energy acquired from its motion.
• Wind carries a boat forward when the sails of the boat are hoisted. Wind has the ability of doing work due to its motion.
