Which form of energy is possessed by a horse running on a level road? Correct Answer Kinetic Energy

The correct answer is ​Kinetic Energy.

  • The kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion.
  • It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.
  • Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects and transformed into other kinds of energy.
  • The amount of kinetic energy that an object has depends upon two variables i.e. the mass (m) of the object and the speed (v) of the object.
  • The form of energy possessed by a horse running on a level road is kinetic-energy.

I had seen this road many years ago when my parents moved to Mundakotukurussi, our ancestral village. However, in those early years, I hadn't begun exploring the countryside. I stored the unknown road in my head under 'One Day I Will'. Ten years ago, when I recovered from a herniated disc, it was to discover that I had a useless left leg. Though I managed to lose the limp, I hated not being able to stride around as I used to. I needed a challenge to tell myself that I wasn't going to buckle to a creature called sciatica. Thus the 'One Day I Will' arrived. "Where does the road by the medical shop lead to?" I asked my parents while visiting them next. "Chalavara," they said. "It's not an easy road to walk on," my father added. "There are too many ups and downs." Chalavara was a superior grade of a village as compared to Mundakotukurussi, with a high school, a fine library, ATMs and several shops. But it also has two approach roads. The one I had chosen was a narrow back road used by the locals and that settled it for me. I needed to know for myself I could walk a road that wasn't going to be easy. And the next day, I would get up and walk that road again. What makes Chalavara better than Mundakotukurussi?
