Question

The energy possessed by virtue of motion is called ______ energy.

Answer 1

1. The energy possessed by a body due to its motion is called kinetic energy.
2. Mathematically it is given as, $K.E.=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$
3. The kinetic energy directly depends on the square of the speed of the object.

Hence, The energy possessed by virtue of motion is called kinetic energy.
