Work, which is required to move a body from a resting position, is called

A: kinetic energy
B: Potential Energy
C: Rotational Energy
D: Vibrational Energy

the energy of motion. energy of a moving object is equal to the work required to bring it to its speed from rest, or the work the object can do while being brought to rest. energy of a moving object is equal to the work required to bring up to speed or bring it to rest.

Potential Energy.

Explanation: Work is required to elevate objects against Earth's gravity. The potential energy due to elevated positions is gravitational potential energy. ... If an object is moving, work is required to bring it to rest. The change in kinetic energy is equal to the net work done - workenergy theorem.
