Question

What is kinetic and potential energy?

Answer 1

the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system. Its potential energy.
Kinetic energy is which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion

Answer 2

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by an object in motion. The earth revolving around the sun, you walking down the street, and molecules moving in space all have kinetic energy.
K×E=1/2 m v^2.

Potential energy is a form of energy that results from an object's position or arrangement of parts. It is stored energy that can become kinetic energy.
P×E=mgh
