Potential is stored energy and Kinetic is just simple movement like windmills are powerd with Kinetic energy. They are both energy.
The main difference between potential and kinetic energy is that potential is energy that has the opportunity to become kinetic. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.examples of potential energy- a spring being squeezed; When you are at the top of the diving board getting ready to dive; winding up before you throw a pitch (in softball); etc.examples of kinetic energy- a person running; a car speeding; falling down the stairs; etc.
kinetic is not a potential energy because kinetic energy is made of movement but potential energies are stored but can be used
Stored energy is potential energy and energy in motion is kinetic energy. A pendulum has potential energy at the end of it's stroke and kinetic energy when it's moving.
Kinetic is energy of motion. Potential energy is stored energy
Potential energy and Kinetic energy. Potential energy comes in forms that are stored, including - Chemical, Gravitational, Mechanical and Nuclear. Kinetic energy forms are doing work - Like electrical, heat, light, motion and sound. Difference between them both are, Potential energy can be stored and Kinetic energy is already doing work and can't be stored. Hope this helps =)
whats the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy
Potential energy is energy a body has due to its position. Kinetic energy is energy a body has due to its motion.
Kinetic energy is the motion of an object (real). Potential energy is a measure of the kinetic energy an object WOULD have if it were to be released and allowed to fall.
Potential energy is when the particles are at rest and kinetic energy is when the particles are in motion.

The difference between potential and kinetic energy all comes down to a very simple property of the object. If an object is moving, then it has kinetic energy, or kinetic energy is the energy of movement. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object and can be released under the right conditions.

true
Stored energy is potential energy and energy in motion is kinetic energy. A pendulum has potential energy at the end of it's stroke and kinetic energy when it's moving.
Difference is that kinetic energy is the energy of motion and potential is stored energy.
potential energy- is derived chemically from something kinetic energy-is derived from something by the motion the object has thermal energy-is derived by heat or cold
Kinetic and potential energy are a type of energy, not a measurement of distance.
