What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

• Potential energy is due to motion, while kinetic energy is due to position or state.

• Potential energy is only found in moving objects, while kinetic energy is only found in stationary objects.

• Potential energy is the energy of an object in motion, while kinetic energy is the energy of an object at rest.

• Potential energy is due to position or state, while kinetic energy is due to motion.
