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.

Burning coal has chemical potential energy, because the energy is stored up in the bonds between the carbon molecules, and when the coal is burned, the stored energy is released and transformed into heat, light, and even sometimes sound energy.
Chemical potential energy being converted to heat energy
Technically its potential energy until it's lit, and then it depends on the match brand.

I think it is kinetic energy because it is moving and moving energy is kinetic energy.
