Question

The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its__________is called kinetic energy.

Answer 1

1. Kinetic energy: The energy possessed by a body by its motion.
2. $$\begin{gathered} Kineticenergy=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2 \\ Wherem=massoftheobject,v=velocityofobject \end{gathered}$$
3. Ex: moving car, flowing water, etc.

Hence, the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy.
