Work is the quantity of energy being transfered (i.e. potential to kinetic). It is due to work that energy is transfered between potential and kinetic and vice versa. This is an attribute of the first law of thermodynamics. Energy is also the ability to do work
Hold a rock in the air ... it has potential energy. Drop it ... the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. It hits the ground and stop ... the kinetic energy will be converted into thermal energy. Note that the total energy in each case is the same.
Kinetic is energy of motion. Potential energy is stored energy
chemical energy -----> potential energy -------> kinetic energy
Potential is stored energy and Kinetic is just simple movement like windmills are powerd with Kinetic energy. They are both energy.
When potiental increases, kinetic decreases and vice versa.
Both are mechanical force.
potential is the stored energy and kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
kinetic is in motion and potential energy means it is still
Kinetic energy increases; potential energy decreases, because the object is now in motion
Kinetic and potential energy are a type of energy, not a measurement of distance.

Kinetic is energy of motion. Potential energy is stored energy
velocity squared
It is potential energy. It becomes kinetic when a bond is broken.
Upward motion on a roller coaster converts kinetic energy into potential energy. Downward motion converts potential energy into kinetic energy. Forward motion is a result of excess potential enegy converted into kinetic energy that cannot be expended while falling.
