Question

is potential energy and kinetic energy real or is it theoretical and is used to explain how thing work? if it is real than where is potential energy stored? Because energy has to be stored somewhere, like in a plant the energy of the sun is stored in its leaves.

Answer 1

Potential energy is theoretical in a sense but kinetic energy is not as it can be observed and harnessed potential energy still exist to a certain extent tho as it

Answer 2

It is is real because potential energy is stored inside gravitational energy.
