Hi there!

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. It depends on an object’s mass and velocity and can calculated with the formula: KE = 1/2mv^2. The more mass and velocity an object has, the more kinetic energy it has!

For more information, you could do a simple google search of “kinetic energy.”

I hope this helped!
