Dynamite's explosive power comes from the nitroglycerin inside of it, which is very sensitive to shock. If caught inside of an explosion, dynamite would go off.

Is potential energy slower than kinetic energy?

Potential energy is unreleased energy - an unmoving rock at the top of a cliff, or a stick of dynamite. Potential energy becomes kinetic energy when it is released - the rock is falling from the cliff, or the stick of dynamite is exploding. So technically the answer is yes. Kinetic even means "motion"! But be careful about saying that potential energy is "slower" than kinetic, or in trying to distinguish between the two based on how fast you perceive an object to move. Kinetic energy doesn't necessarily make an object "look" as if it is moving faster. For example, heating water in a microwave converts potential energy (a difference in voltage between the two prongs of the microwave plug) into kinetic energy (an increase in the temperature of the water), but the water doesn't "look" as if it is going "faster" until it actually boils - the actual change in velocity is at the molecular level of the water.

When you hit a wall with a stick what is the equal but opposite reaction?

While swinging the stick you have created potential energy within the stick's swing. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the stick contacts the wall; but as the wall does not move, or moves quite neglibly, the kinetic energy is converted into loud sound energy. Nevertheless, not all of the kinetic energy is converted: the stick itself reacts, and there is a severe vibration that 'backfires' through the stick itself, if it is still held. In some cases, the stick will break. There is also a miniscule reaction-vibration through the wall itself. Additionally, what is not converted to any of these other energies is converted into heat energy at the point where the stick contacted the wall - both, on the stick and on the wall.
