Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the intrinsic energy possessed by an object in motion. The bigger the object in motion, and the higher its speed, the higher the kinetic energy. The equation below is used to calculate this energy also referred to as the work put into the object to accelerate it into its current velocity.

E (k) = 1/2 * m * v²
