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.
Some animals use kinetic energy to catch and eat other animals. Some animals use kinetic energy to not get eaten by other animals. Sometimes kinetic energy is just fun. It feels darn good to run, or to be more technical, to convert potential energy stored in our cells into the kinetic energy of our body.ou hear about electrical energy, chemical energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, heat, potential energy, work, and others too. Even within the hallowed pages of this web site I am guilty of tossing around an endless slew of energy terms with reckless abandon.
