In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
When you are jumping on a trampoline, as you push off the surface, your potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as you rise and gain speed. At the peak of your jump, your kinetic energy is fully converted back into potential energy. As you descend, potential energy is once again converted into kinetic energy until you push off again.
Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic energy.
When a parachute is deployed, the potential energy of the object is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. As the parachute opens and increases air resistance, this kinetic energy is then converted into thermal energy due to air friction and potential energy as the object slows down and descends gently.
The two types of mechanical energy are kinetic energy, which is associated with the motion of an object, and potential energy, which is associated with the position or configuration of an object.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

When the ball is positioned in your hands it has full potential energy. As you move and the ball is thrown at the basket, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, by the transfer of kinetic energy from your arms, to your hands, to the ball. When the ball hits the basket some of its kinetic energy was converted into potential energy and then back into kinetic energy as it hit the ground.
The potential energy of the gasoline is converted to heat and kinetic energy.

Potential energy and kinetic energy are two forms of energy. Potential energy is stored energy and is the energy of position; gravitational energy is an example of potential energy. Kinetic energy is the motion of waves, molecules, objects, and substances.
Potential energy is stored in the gasoline, the energy is then converted to heat, then to the kinetic energy of the car.
Assuming it just rolls down a slope, without the engines working: gravitational potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy will eventually be converted to heat energy.
