Basically, potential energy is stored energy that is waiting to be converted into kinetic energy by have a force applied to the object. When an object has potential energy, it is not moving. So, two examples are: A rock sitting atop a hill or a cheetah about to spring at it's prey. 1. A rock is displaying potential energy because it is not moving. 2. The cheetah is storing energy, meaning that is waiting for the right moment to attack. Stored energy as in meaning that it is not using the energy that it has.
Potential energy comes in two forms, spring potential energy, and gravitational potential energy. Spring potential energy comes from any elastic material that has the tendency to return to its original form, such as a bow string. An arrow drawn back on a bow would have potential energy because the bow string "wants" to return to its original state. Gravitational potential energy comes from being above the ground, such as a held Basketball. Because it has the tendency to fall towards Earth, raising it up increases its potential energy.
Lets see..
A piece of wood (potential energy to be released by burning), An object way up high (energy released by falling), and matter (energy released by fission or fusion or chemical reaction.)
before a boulder rolls down a mountian,or before fore a books falls off a shelf
,or even before someone falls off a clift it is vefore it actally moves falls rolls or some thing else
potential energy is when a object is in motion is stays in motion but when the object is in rest it stays at rest for in example A car parked at the top of a mount. is a example of potential energy
^^^ Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, for example any time something moves. Potential energy is stored, due to positioning, and is ready to be used. Let's say you're on the top of a hill. Due to your height, the energy you have is potential.

Energy stored in a spring; gravitational potential energy; chemical energy; nuclear energy.
Potential energy is stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object.
Water stored in a dam is one. :)
the type of energy is potential energy
kinetic is related to movement.equation=1/2mv*v(m=mass,v=velocity) potential is related to position or shape and can be elastic potential energy or gravitational potential energy.equation=mgh (m=mass,g=acc. due to gravity,h=hight)
There are several different varieties of potential energy, some of which involve position and some of which don't. Gravitational potential energy involves position. High objects have the potential to fall.

Here are some types:* Potential energy * Kinetic energy * Chemical energy * Gravitational potential energy * Magnetic potential energy * Elastic energy * Nuclear energy
A potential energy is energy related to some (conservative) force. In this case, it is the electrical attraction between the atoms.A potential energy is energy related to some (conservative) force.

a boulder falling through the air still has some potential energy, but some of its potential energy has changed to kinetic energy...so it has both potential and kinetic!
Stored energy is called Potential EnergyStored energy is called Potential energy.
Some of its potential energy changes to kinetic energy.
The some of potential energy + kinetic energy.
When an object is moved up, against the force of gravity, its potential energy increases. Since it requires some force to move it up, some other form of energy is converted into potential energy. When the object moves down (for example, when it falls down), this potential energy is again converted into some other type of energy. For more information, do some reading on the topic of "potential energy".
A parked car is potential energy =]- aim wave ; twinxlocksxin
It is a form of potential energy.
kenetic is energy in motion and potential energy is energy that is stored.
