Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the best description of kinetic energy?
A
Energy of position
B
Energy of motion
C
Ability to do work
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object or subatomic particle. Every moving object and particle have kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. Applying a force requires us to do work. After work has been done, energy has been transferred to the object, and the object will be moving with a new constant speed.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, that’s why this bowling ball, which is in motion, so that possesses kinetic energy. This is the best example and hence option 2 is correct.

Detailed explanation-4: -It can be seen from the above equation that the kinetic energy of a body is directly proportional to the square of its velocity. Therefore, doubling the velocity will quadruple its kinetic energy. Therefore, the given statement is true.

Detailed explanation-5: -Detailed Solution. It is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion. Example: A falling object, a speeding car, a rolling stone, a flying aircraft, flowing water, blowing wind, a running athlete etc.
