Question

Energy possessed by a body due to its motion is:

• A. kinetic energy
• B. nuclear energy
• C. potential energy
• D. thermal energy

Answer 1

The correct option is A kinetic energy

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.

Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom. Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe.

Thermal energy refers to the internal energy present in a system due to its temperature.

Kinetic energy refers to energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.

Expression of kinetic energy is given by $\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

So the best possible option is option A.
