Answer:
The main difference between potential and kinetic energy is that one is the energy of what can be and one is the energy of what is. In other words, potential energy is stationary, with stored energy to be released; kinetic energy is energy in motion, actively using energy for movement.

Answer:
Potential Energy
1 It is the energy of a body by virtue of its change in shape, size or configuration.
2 It is independent on the speed of the body
3. Example: A wound up watch spring has potential energy.
Kinetic Energy
1 It is the energy of a body by virtue of its motion.
2 It is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the moving body.
3. For example: a moving car has kinetic energy.
