Question

What is the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Answer 1

Kinetic Energy is energy of movement and force. Ex. The object reaches maximum potential when it is nearing the end...dropping the box and highest point is half way down. 
Potential Energy is energy of potential movement or force. Ex. Box half on high shelf, It has a great amount of potential energy to fall. 

Answer 2

Potential energy is stored in energy in an object or system and kinetic energy is when the object is in motion
