Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. In other words it is the amount of work the object can do due to its motion.

This interactive roller coaster ride produced by WGBH illustrates the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. As the coaster cars go up and down the hills and around the loop of the track, a pie chart shows how the relative transformation back and forth between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.
