A one kilogram lead ball moving through space horizontally at one
meter per second for one second is a specific definition of energy.
However the visual equation that we physically see for the moving ball
is only;

Mass x Velocity (Acceleration x Time) x a period of Time.

Momentum x Time.

Kilogram x Meter

kgm

as opposed to the complete energy equation of kgm2/s2

Where is the missing factor of ACCELERATION ?

What does "horizontally" mean? Where is the horizon in space?
Ah wait... I think I know... it's been hidden for so long, right?

m = 1 kg

v = dx/dt = 1 m/s

a = dv/dt = 0

KE = 1/2 mv^2

KE = 0.5 joules

You strike me as the type of person who didn't do too well in the 'physics
for artists' course.
