Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy is the energy occupied by an object or substance due to its position.

For example, a sled drops 20 meters in height on a hill shows that a decrease in height is taking place.

Hence, potential energy is involved there.

Kinetic energy is the energy acquired by an object due to its motion.

For example, a rider is going 20 m/s at the bottom of the hill shows that rider is in motion due to which it has kinetic energy.
