The universe is made up of matter and energy. Matter â anything that has mass and takes up space â is pretty straightforward and easy to grasp, but energy is a bit more abstract. In physics, energy is the ability to do work, or the ability to move or elicit change in matter.
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. 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.
