The energy of a moving object
Real World Example
Imagine trying to push a shopping cart at the grocery store that is already filled to the brim with heavy items. Just like how moving a full cart requires more effort than pushing an empty one, a moving object with mass has more energy when it's in motion, known as kinetic energy. In this analogy, the heavy shopping cart is akin to an object with mass, and the effort you exert to keep it moving represents the kinetic energy that the moving object possesses.
