In other words, any object, body or particle with a mass and speed has kinetic energy. An object, body or particle with zero speed (which means that it’s stationary) will have zero kinetic energy. Even if it has low mass, a bullet fired from a gun has a relatively high kinetic energy due to the fact that it’s travelling at very high speed.
