Question

What kind of energy is possessed by the following:

A speeding car:

Answer 1

1. The energy possessed by a body due to its motion is called kinetic energy.

$$\begin{gathered} Kineticenergy=\frac{1}{2}mass\times {\left(velocity\right)}^2 \\ K=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2 \end{gathered}$$

2. As kinetic energy is the energy associated with a moving body. So a speeding car possesses kinetic energy.

Hence, a speeding car possesses kinetic energy.
