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 energy is the energy of motion. The word kinetic came from the Greek word âkinesisâ meaning motion. It is the energy an object displays or possesses because of some kind of motion or action. Kinetic energy can also be passed from one moving object to another when a collision or contact takes place.
