What is the relationship between potential and kinetic energy in terms of their physical interaction?

Potential energy is the stored energy an object has due to its position or condition, while kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. The relationship between potential and kinetic energy is that potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when an object moves, and vice versa. This means that as an object's potential energy decreases, its kinetic energy increases, and vice versa.
