Energy implies as the object’s capability to perform work. It is something that cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed. An object loses its energy, when it performs work, whereas it gains energy when the work is performed on it. Energy is broadly classified as kinetic energy and potential energy. While kinetic energy is the energy which an object contains because of a particular motion. On the other hand, potential energy is the stored energy, because of its state of rest. As both the two forms of energy are measured in joules, people get easily confused between these two. So, take a read of the article which will help you to understand the differences between kinetic and potential energy.

The kinetic energy of an object, in motion, with a certain velocity, is same as the work performed on it. All the objects that are in motion or action, irrespective of horizontal or vertical motion, possess kinetic energy. It is the energy which an object acquires, owing to its state of motion. For example, Falling of coconut, flowing of a river, moving of car or bus, etc. The different forms of kinetic energy are:

Vibrational Energy
Rotational Energy
Translational Energy

When the state of the object changes from rest to motion, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. It forces the object to come back at its initial position, i.e. state of rest because it works counter to any displacement, this is why it is known as restoring energy. With the increase in the speed of the moving object, the potential energy decreases, and vice versa. The various types of potential energy are:

Gravitational Energy
Elastic Energy
Electrical Energy
Chemical Energy
Nuclear Energy

Answer:

Difference Between Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy

• All forms of energy are basically categorized in to two classes known as kinetic energy and potential energy.

• Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses because of its state of motion, while potential energy is because of...

• Both KE and PE keep transforming into one another all the time.
