#Kinetic energy is the energy that is possess by the object due to virtue of it motion.
eg - A cyclist pedalling
#Potential energy - the energy possess by the object due to virtue of it position
Eg - a stone on a table.

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.✔️
