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.
Kinetic and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The magnitude of the kinetic energy (Ek) of an object depends upon its mass (m) and velocity (v): In other words, both the mass and the speed of an object determines how much energy it has, and thus, how much work it can accomplish.
