Answer:

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity Having gained this energy during its acceleration the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes

Example:

A semi-truck travelling down the road

A river flowing at a certain speed
