Types of Energy and Their Properties

The video tutorial explains kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, exemplified by moving objects like cars and planes. When an object stops, its kinetic energy becomes zero. Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position, such as a ball held at a height. When released, potential energy converts to kinetic energy. The video uses examples like a slingshot to illustrate these concepts. An exercise is included to reinforce understanding, highlighting that potential energy increases with height.
