Answer
both rotational and translational kinetic energy
Reason — When a vehicle is in motion, its wheels are both rotating and translating (moving in a straight line). The motion of the vehicle results in translational kinetic energy, as the vehicle moves forward. Additionally, each wheel is rotating about its axis, so it possesses rotational kinetic energy due to its spinning motion.
