What name is given to the energy an object has because it is moving?

1. A moving object can do work on whatever it hits, so motion itself stores energy. 2. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. 3. Potential energy is stored because of position or state, not because of movement. _Source: Siyavula Physical Sciences Grade 10 (Everything Science, CC BY 4.0), Chapter 22: Mechanical energy_
