Kinetic energy is the [[energy]] possessed by a system due to its state of being in a continuous motion. A good example of explaining this would be using a bow and arrow. When the bowstring is stressed back along with the arrow, the bowstring would have a [[potential energy]] stored in it in the form of elastic potential energy. When the archer releases the bowstring, the potential energy is converted to the kinetic energy to the arrow released, which accelerates to its maximum velocity. Kinetic energy is measured in SI units as joule, '''J'''. 1 J is 1 kg m<sup>2</sup> s<sup>−2</sup>.
