Well it depends. Because if a matchbox car is sitting on the top of a hill, it has potential energy and a way to remember potential energy is to think what potential means and it sorta means stored. So Stored energy. But if the car is in motion, it is using kinetic energy. Same with a yo-yo. When it is being held up in the air in your hand, about to be pushed down, its potential energy. When it is bouncing up & down it is pretty much in motion, so kinetic.
