1. Kinetic Energy

In physics, an object that is in motion is said to have kinetic energy. The following formula can be used to determine a moving object’s kinetic energy:

KE = 1/2 x m * v(squared)

The variables in the formula are as follows: KE is the kinetic energy, m is the object’s mass in kilograms, and v is the object’s velocity in meters per second. Write a function named kinetic_energy that accepts an objects mass(in kilograms) and velocity(in meters per second) as arguments. The function should return the amount of kinetic energy that the object has. Write a program that asks the user to enter values for mass and velocity, and then calls the kinetic_energy function to get the object’s kinetic energy.
