How much potential and kinetic energy does an average person use a day?

no In most all cases, yes. You use kinetic energy (energy due to motion) if you move, or if you move something. The most common form of potential energy is gravitational potential energy (basically energy due to height). You use this if you fall down (or fall into your bed) or if you drop something (even if it's dropping your backpack from two inches off the ground). You use gravitational potential energy when you drink from a cup by letting gravity do the work of moving the liquid down. It can also be argued that chemical energy is potential energy, in which case, you use it when you eat and obtain energy from food.
