Kinetic energy is the energy an object has when it is MOVING.

Potential energy can be a lot, or a little depending on the object's POSITION.

An object’s potential and kinetic energy TOGETHER is called mechanical energy.

A force can change an object’s MECHANICAL energy by changing its motion or its position.

A ball rolling on a table has KINETIC energy because it is moving and POTENTIAL energy because it is above the ground.
