Pick the appropriate option from the following to complete the sentence. 

The energy that an object has as a result of its motion is referred to as:

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object or particle has as a result of its motion. When work, which transfers energy, is performed on an object by applying a net force, the object accelerates and gains kinetic energy.

At any given time, an item in motion has a velocity "v."

This is known as "kinetic energy," and it is provided by;
Kinetic Energy $=\frac{1}{2}\times \mathrm{m}\times {\mathrm{v}}^2$
Here; m = Mass of the object in motion
