Question

What Do You Mean By Kinetic Energy?

Answer 1

Kinetic energy:

1. Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has as a result of its movement. That means when a body is in motion it possesses kinetic energy
2. Kinetic energy can never be negative and is a scalar quantity, meaning it only provides the magnitude and not the direction.
3. Kinetic energy is used by any moving object: a person walking, a baseball being thrown, a crumb falling from a table.
4. Kinetic energy is given by: $K=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$, where $m$ is the mass of the body and $v$ is the velocity of the body.
