Answer:

The correct answer would be kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is a form of energy possessed by matter by virtue of its motion.

It is defined as the amount of work done in order to accelerate a body (specific mass) from rest to its specified velocity.

The kinetic energy of a non-rotating body or object can be calculated as 1/2mv², where m refers to the mass of the object, and v refers to the velocity of the object.
