Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that kinetic energy is a concept in physics that relates to the motion of an object.
Recall the definition of kinetic energy: it is the energy that an object possesses because of its motion.
Differentiate kinetic energy from other forms of energy: potential energy (related to position), chemical energy (related to chemical reactions), and thermal energy (related to temperature).
Identify the correct option by matching the definition of kinetic energy with the given choices.
Select the option that states 'The energy an object possesses due to its motion' as it correctly defines kinetic energy.
