Physics is the scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other. This energy can take the form of motion, light, electricity, radiation, gravity — just about anything, honestly.
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. Potential energy on the other hand is the energy possessed by a body based on its position.
Kinetic energy of a body is determined by the equation; K.E = 3RT/2;
From the equation, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the system and therefore an increase in the kinetic energy of a sample causes an increase in temperature of the system.
