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 - Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. A swinging pendulum has kinetic energy. Potential Energy - This is energy due to an object's position. For example, a ball sitting on a table has potential energy with respect to the floor because gravity acts upon it. Mechanical Energy - Mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of a body. Light - Photons are a form of energy. Electrical Energy - This is energy from the movement of charged particles, such as protons, electrons, or ions. Magnetic Energy - This form of energy results from a magnetic field.
