Exploring Energy: Exploring Potential Energy

The video tutorial explains the difference between kinetic and potential energy. It starts by clarifying that a stationary container has no kinetic energy but can have potential energy if it is in a position to move. Potential energy is described as energy due to an object's position or shape, often referred to as stored energy. Examples such as a roller coaster at the top of a track, a stretched rubber band, and a compressed spring are used to illustrate potential energy. The video concludes with a brief mention of different forms of energy.
