GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy and vice versa. Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts.

Detailed explanation-2: -The energy associated with an object’s motion is called kinetic energy. A speeding bullet, a walking person, and electromagnetic radiation like light all have kinetic energy. Another example of kinetic energy is the energy associated with the constant, random bouncing of atoms or molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Potential energy is energy that is stored – or conserved-in an object or substance. This stored energy is based on the position, arrangement or state of the object or substance. You can think of it as energy that has the ‘potential’ to do work.
