K. E = 12mv2


Kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by its due to its motion.

Kinetic energy K.E (or K ) = 12mv2.

It depends on two factors :

(i) On the mass of the body:

Greater the mass of the body, greater is its kinetic energy.

(ii) On the speed of the body:

More the speed of the body, higher is its kinetic energy.
