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.
KE = 1/2mv 2. Some examples of kinetic energy include: sound, electrical, light. Mechanical Energy = kinetic and potential energy (of lifting, bending, stretching or twisting). For instance, it is possible to calculate the potential energy of an apple that is 2 meters above the head of a businessman.
