Kinetic energy

➡️Kinetic energy is the energy of a body because of its motion. ✔️

➡️The kinetic energy of a body of mass ‘m’ moving with speed ‘v’ is written as, KE = (1/2)mv2✔️

Examples-

➡️ A golf ball sitting on a tee before it is struck has zero kinetic energy because its velocity is zero.✔️

➡️An asteroid falling to earth at incredible speeds has an enormous amount of kinetic energy.✔️

Potential energy

➡️Potential energy is the energy of the body because of its position or configuration. ✔️

➡️PE of a body of mass m at a height h from the surface of earth is, mgh.✔️

Examples-

➡️A rock sitting at the edge of a cliff has potential energy. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy.✔️

➡️Tree branches high up in a tree have potential energy because they can fall to the ground.✔️
