Answer 1

$\bold{Answer:}$

Kinetic energy is built up in an object by motion and can be defined as the energy that is needed to either slow it down or speed it up.  Studies have also been done using kinetic energy and then converting it to other types of energy, which is then used to power everything from flashlights to radios and more.

To summarize, potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.

Difference: KE is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of it being in motion. PE is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position. It can be transferred from one object to another and this happens during collisions. Potential Energy, on the other hand, cannot be transferred from one object to another.

Answer 2

Kinetic and Potential Energy Difference

The capacity to do work is called as Energy. This energy can be stored in different forms. ... When an object is at rest, the body is said to possess potential energy. In another case, when the object is in motion, then it is said to possess kinetic energy.
