P.E definition : Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position

Formula of P.E :

P.E = m×g×h

K.E definition :  Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles

Formula of K.E :

K.E = 1/2×mv²

Hope this will help you to understand the concept :))

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy and kinetic energy are the two forms of mechanical energy.

Potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position. The energy possessed by a body that is monetarily at rest is best described as potential energy.

If the body has mass m and covered a particular height h under the influence of gravity, the potential energy of the body will be expressed as:

PE = mass×height×acceleration due to gravity

PE = mgh

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion. A body in motion is said to posses an energy called kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is expressed mathematically as:

KE = 1/2MV²

M is the mass of the body

V is the velocity of the body
