What is Kinetic and Potential Energy?

Kinetic energy is all about movement, while potential energy is all about position and state. Imagine a rollercoaster: kinetic when it zips down, potential when it’s at the top of the hill!
Think of kinetic energy as the party animal always on the go, and potential energy as the introvert storing up energy for later!
Kinetic energy = moving stuff. Potential energy = stored power. Simple as that.
