The energy possessed by a body due to its motion is called ......... energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body possesses as a result of its motion.

We must apply force to accelerate an object.

We must work in order to exert force.

Work on the object transfers energy, and the object now moves at a new constant speed.

Kinetic energy is the energy that is transferred and is determined by the mass and speed reached.

Hence, the energy possessed by a body due to its motion is called kinetic energy
