1. Which of the following best defines kinetic energy?
Energy stored in an object due to its position.
Energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
Energy associated with the temperature of an object.
Energy transferred between objects due to a force.
2. The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is:
KE = mgh
KE = 1/2 mv²
KE = Fd
KE = Pt
