Kinetic energy is active and dynamic, like a speeding car. Potential energy is passive and stored, like a compressed spring.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is the energy stored due to an object's position or state. Think of kinetic energy as a roller coaster zooming down a hill and potential energy as it pauses at the top of that hill.
In my experience, kinetic energy gets you places, while potential energy is like the ace up your sleeve, just waiting for the right moment.
Kinetic energy is all about motion, babes! Potential energy is sitting pretty, waiting for its moment to shine.
