→Kinetic energy is the energy possesed by the particles of an object due to their movement or say motion.
→The kinetic energy of an object depends on both its mass and its speed.
→Kinetic energy is different from potential energy this is because KE is due to movement of particles, whereas PE is due to height basically.
→Unit of Kinetic Energy
•The SI unit of kinetic energy is Joule which is equal to 1 kg.m2.s-2.
•The CGS unit of kinetic energy is erg.
