POTENTIAL ENERGY :

Potential energy is the energy that exists in an object because of its position or condition rather than its motion. For example, a raised weight or a charged battery has potential energy.

KINETIC ENERGY : 

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion.

If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. Applying a force requires us to do work. After work has been done, energy has been transferred to the object, and the object will be moving with a new constant speed. The energy transferred is known as kinetic energy, and it depends on the mass and speed achieved.
