Definitions

Kinetic Energy Both are the same but one is just smaller if you want it.

- Energy that an object has due to its motion

- Energy an object has due to its motion

Potential Energy

- the energy an object has because of its position, condition, or the arrangement of its atoms and molecules

Hope I helped!
