Kinetic energy = motion energy. Potential energy = stored energy. Simple as that!
In simpler terms, kinetic energy is what you see in action, while potential energy is the energy waiting to spring into action.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. If it's moving, it's got kinetic energy. Potential energy, on the other hand, is the stored energy due to an object's position or state—think of a ball at the top of a hill, just waiting to roll!
Kinetic energy is all about motion! It's the energy something has because it's moving. Potential energy is stored energy, waiting to do something cool, like a rock ready to roll downhill.
