Kinetic Energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is a type of mechanical energy and depends on two factors: the mass of the object and the velocity (speed) at which it is moving. The mathematical formula for kinetic energy ($KEKE$) is:

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

where:

• $mm$ is the mass of the object (in kilograms),
• $vv$ is the velocity of the object (in meters per second).

Key Points:

• Mass: The heavier the object, the more kinetic energy it will have at a given speed.
• Velocity: Kinetic energy increases with the square of the velocity, meaning that even small increases in speed can lead to large increases in kinetic energy.

Examples:

• A moving car, a flying airplane, and a rolling ball all have kinetic energy.
• The faster an object moves or the more massive it is, the more kinetic energy it has.
