What is Kinetic Energy?

Kinetic Energy

It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.

Kinetic energy can be transferred from one moving object to another, say, in collisions.

The SI Unit of kinetic energy is Joule (J).

The formula of Kinetic Energy is given as-

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}$

where, m = mass, and v = velocity

Example- Walking & Running, Flying Airplane, Bullet From a Gun.
