Answer:

Kinectic

Step-by-step explanation:

kinetic energy can be regarded as the energy that is been posses by a body as a result of motion, it can be reffered to as work that is required in accelerating a body having a given mass from rest up to a particular velocity. Once this energy is gained during acceleration, the Kinectic energy is maintained by the body unless there is change in speed.

Formula

K.E= 1/2 mv^2

Where m= mass of the object

v= velocity

Therefore, the energy of a semi-truck doing 100 kph on the kighway is a " Kinectic energy"
