What is Potential and Kinetic Energy

• Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue(Behaviour) of its movement.
• Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. 
• While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.

• Stored energy is called ‘potential energy’ and moving energy is called ‘kinetic energy’.
