What are the examples of kinetic energy and potential energy?

In: Science, Physics, Energy [Edit categories]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy any object possesses due to its movement. Any moving object has KE.
Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. A weight, lifted up, has potential energy due to its ability to fall down and hit something.
