Kinetic Energy

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to push a heavy shopping cart in a crowded supermarket. Just like how you need to exert more effort to get the cart moving from a standstill, an object gains kinetic energy as it starts moving. The force you apply to the cart is akin to the energy an object builds up as it moves, meaning once the cart is in motion, it carries energy that keeps it rolling, similar to how an object's kinetic energy keeps it moving until another force (like friction) acts on it.
