Question

Whats the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy

Answer 1

The energy of a body due to its motion is called Kinetic energy.
The energy of a body due to its position or change in shape is known as Potential energy..

Answer 2

Answers:

potential energy: the energy that an object has because of the position,shape or condition of the object

Kinetic energy : the energy of an object's that is due to the object's motion

Explanation:

when the skateboard reaches the top of the half-pipe his potential energy is at a maximum

As he speeds down through the bottom of the half pipe the skateboarder's kinetic energy is at a maximum
