ok so in physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion and In classical mechanics, the kinetic energy of a non-rotating object of mass m traveling at a speed v is[tex] \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} [/tex], this is a good since approximation only when v is much less than the speed of light. Energy occurs in many forms, including chemical energy, thermal energy, electromagnetic radiation, gravitational energy, electric energy, elastic energy, nuclear energy, and rest energy. These can be categorized in two main classes: potential energy and kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the movement energy of an object. Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects and transformed into other kinds of energy; but in the same time in physics, motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time. Motion is typically described in terms of displacement, distance (scalar), velocity, acceleration, time and speed. Motion of a body is observed by attaching a frame of reference to an observer and measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame.
hope this helps u out
