Kinetic energy (SI unit: the joule) is energy that a body possesses as a result of its motion. It is formally defined as the work needed to accelerate a body from rest to its current velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. Negative work of the same magnitude would be required to return the body to a state of rest from that velocity.

Kinetic energy is the energy a body has because it's moving: E = (1/2)mv².

K = 1/2 mv v
where K is kinetic energy, m is mass and v is the velocity of body

You mean kinetic energy? Energy in motion, as opposed to potential energy, which is stored energy.

If you mean kinetic energy, it's energy in motion.

Well depending on the quality of brakes. If they had the same brakes, the car would stop first to do the size, weight, speed. I would have to claim "Not Enough Information".
