Before written down the Kinetic Energy Formula, we know firstly, what is Energy? And What is Kinetic Energy? And then we get the formula after considering an example. An Energy is the ability to do the work. The energy is stored in a body and when the work is done on it, the body performs a work due to its energy. Energy is found in many forms like Nuclear, Electrical, Magnetic, Chemical, Mechanical and so on. Now we are in a position to define Kinetic Energy: Kinetic Energy Definition “Kinetic Energy is stored by a body due to its Motion” Kinetic Energy Example Let suppose, a body having mass m is moving with an initial velocity V i ,  and a constant force F is applied on the body to stop it, then according to Newton’s Second Law of Motion , the acceleration is given as: a = - F / m As body comes to rest after converting some distance d, its velocity V f is zero, and according to Second Motion of Equation or Ki...
