What is kinetic energy

a) the energy an object has due to its motion
b) the energy derived from chemical reactions
c) the energy an object has due to its position
d) the energy an object releases as heat

Respuesta :

Answer (A) is correct and this is why

When an object moves from its initial position, it acquires some energy. This energy is called kinetic energy, as it is governed by the motion of an object.

The formula to calculate kinetic energy is as follows.

kinetic energy =

where,    

  m = mass of object

   v = velocity of object

Thus, it is concluded that kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
