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.
It can also be called the thermal kinetic energy. The internal energy of a system is the total thermal kinetic energy and thermal potential energy of all its atoms and molecules. The Kinetic Theory of Matter is explains the kinetic energy of particles in an object.Kinetic energy can be translational, rotational, or vibrational.he total kinetic energy of all the particles is called the thermal energy or thermal kinetic energy of the object. This is opposed to the kinetic energy of the whole object (like a moving object) and the kinetic energy of a single particle. However, the particles also have their own potential energy.
