Answer:
Potential energy is energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement. Kinetic energy is energy of an object due to its movement - its motion. ... Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, and kinetic energy can be converted into potential energy.
Potential energy (PE) is stored energy due to position or state.
Kinetic energy (KE) is energy of motion.
Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be transformed form one form into another. KE and PE are interconvertible and hence do not contradict the Law of Conservation of Energy.
PE + KE = Total Energy
