How does potential energy differ from kinetic energy in terms of their properties and effects on objects?

Potential energy is the stored energy an object has due to its position or condition, while kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the object is in motion. Both types of energy can affect objects by causing them to move or change their position, but potential energy is related to the object's position or condition, while kinetic energy is related to its motion.
