The energy possessed by a body by the virtue of its motion is called :

Potential energy Kinetic energy Motion energy Total energy

Kinetic energy

The kinetic energy of a body emerges due to its motion. More specifically, the velocity of a body decides the amount of kinetic energy it has. Usually, the kinetic energy of a body with mass m is given as K.E. = (1/2)mv2, .. where v is the velocity of the body.
