Question

How do Kinetic energy and Potential energy apply to everyday life?

Answer 1

-- Whenever you ... or anything you see or own ... are moving,
whatever the moving object is has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy
is the energy of motion.

-- Whenever you ... or anything else ... is in a place where it COULD
roll or coast or fall, the object has potential energy. It only has to be
nudged over the edge for the potential energy to start changing into
kinetic energy ... the energy of motion.

Answer 2

You have potentional energy when you are sitting down and are going to stand up. You have kinetic energy when you have stood up and are walking.

Another example : when you are at a red light while driving, you have potentional energy, and then when you go when the light is green, that is kinetic because you are in motion.
