2. THE EQUATION FOR KINETIC ENERGY IS __ . mgh (1)/(2)mv^2+mgh (1)/(2)mv^2

The correct answer is .Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. The equation for kinetic energy is given by , where represents the mass of the object and represents its velocity.The other options provided are not correct:1. represents potential energy, which is the energy an object possesses due to its position or height above the ground.2. represents the total mechanical energy of an object, which is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy.Therefore, the correct equation for kinetic energy is .
