In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. We see that the kinetic energy increases as the speed of an object increases. For example, a car moving at 50 miles per hour (mph) has greater kinetic energy than it does when it travels at a speed of 40 miles per hour.
