Question

Why do the particles of objects have both kinetic and potential energy?  

Answer 1

The particles of objects have both kinetic and potential energy because these forces are drive by the force of motion or stillness of an object. Potential energy is the a type of energy which an object possess however without motion. Kinetic energy in the other hand, is the energy in motion or if the object moves along from one space to another with respect to time. They both have these two energies by the presence of atoms in these entities.
