The energy of a moving object

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to push a heavy shopping cart up a hill. Just like how you need to exert more effort to move the cart faster or up the slope, an object in motion possesses kinetic energy, which depends on its mass and speed. The harder you push the cart, the more energy you transfer to it, increasing its speed—similar to how kinetic energy increases with greater mass and velocity of an object.
