What is the different
You can think of Kinetic Energy as an "energy associated with motion [velocity]".
You can think of Potential Energy as an "energy associated with position".
kinetic is got to do with motion ---> velocity
pential energy is generally to do with gravity, which depends on the position of the mass from the centre of gravity
