Explain the difference between
potential energy and kinetic energy
Answers
Kinetic energy - Energy which possesed due to the motion of an object is called as kinetic energy.
formula of kinetic energy = e k = 1/2 × mv^2
potential energy - Energy which is possed by virtue of the height of its object is called potential energy
formula of potential energy = mgh
Answer:
Potential energy is energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement. Kinetic energy is energy of an object due to its movement - its motion. All types of energy can be transformed into other types of energy.

POTENTIAL ENERGY
Definition:
Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object or system because of its position or configuration.
Relation to environment:
Potential energy is not relative to the environment of an object.
Transfer ability:
Potential energy cannot be transferred.
Examples:
Water at the top of a waterfall, before the precipice.
SI Unit:
Joule(J)
Determining factors:
Height or distance and mass.
KINETC ENERGY
Definition:
The energy of a body or a system with respect to the motion of the body or of the particles in the system.
Relation of environment:
Kinetic energy of an object is relative to other moving and stationary objects in its immediate environment.
Transfer ability:
Kinetic energy can be transferred from one moving object to another, say, in collisions.
Examples:
Flowing water, such as when falling from a waterfall.
SI Unit:
Joule(J)
Determining factors:
Speed/velocity and mass
