A.  Kinetic  energy  -  Kinetic  energy  of  an  object  is  its  energy  due  to  its  motion.  For
                    example,




















                  A boy has kinetic energy due to its motion                   Moving car possesses kinetic energy

                 B.  Potential energy - Potential energy of the object is its energy due to its position.
                    For example:

                    A  book  or  a  cup  on  a  table  before  it  falls
                    possesses potential energy.
