Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. It is the energy that an object has due to its motion.
The formula for calculating kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity.
Some examples of kinetic energy include a ball rolling down a hill, a car driving on the highway, and a person running.
Kinetic energy and potential energy are two forms of energy that can be converted into one another. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has while in motion, while potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or state.
Kinetic energy plays a significant role in our daily lives, from powering machines and vehicles to providing energy for our bodies to move. It is also important in various sports and recreational activities.
