Kinetic energy is the energy of a body due to its ________.

Open in App

Solution

The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy.
To set a body at rest into motion, we apply a force on it.
When we apply a force on the body, it sets the body in motion.
The body gets displaced and thus, work is done.
This work done on the body is stored in it in the form of kinetic energy.
Hence, kinetic energy is the energy of a body due to the virtue of its motion.
