Kinetic Energy
Energy due to motion of a mass (m). In terms of Newtonian mechanics, which applies when velocities (v) are well below the speed of light, KE = 1/2 m v2. For an ensamble of a very large number of particles in a gas or plasma their average kinetic energy is a statistical measure of the absolute temperature (K).

KINETIC ENERGY
The ability of an object to do work by virtue of its motion. (Water moving in a pipe has kinetic energy.) The energy terms that are usually used to describe the operation of a pump are "pressure" and "head". In classical mechanics, equal to one half of the body’s mass times the square of its speed.

Kinetic energy
The kinetic energy of an object is the extra energy which it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its current velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. Negative work of the same magnitude would be required to return the body to a state of rest from that velocity.
