Kinetic energy: “Energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.”

2. Running water of the river due its kinetic energy can rotate a turbine to produce electricity. 

3. A trunk running at high speed possesses kinetic energy and when hits a body can damage it. 

4. A shooting arrow possesses kinetic energy. 5. Blowing wind possesses K.E.
