The kinetic energy of an object is the energy which it possesses due to its motion.[1] It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed ch

the particle at rest possesses a certain amount of energy. when it is set into motion ,it loses that energy,the energy loss is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of the particle,at a particular instant,the instantaneous velocity 'v' of the particle can be predicted and hence kinetic ener

The word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion --it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the mo
