The energy of a body due to its motion is called:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is the energy a body has because it is moving. For a body of mass \(m\) moving with speed \(v\), it equals \(\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\), so doubling the speed makes it four times as large. A moving car, flowing water and a falling stone all have kinetic energy.
