The mass comes from binding energy, not kinetic. The binding energy is potential energy in the gluons and their interactions with the quarks.

- scotty79 5y agoIsn't binding energy, the energy released when things bind? And energy that has to be delivered to the system to break it apart? [1] The energy that is present withing the system of bound components must be something else. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy
