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.
