Any fluid/object in motion possesses Kinetic energy. Energy stored in an object/fluid due to its height is known as Potential energy. Water stored up in dam has potential energy and when it is allowed to flow downhill it possesses kinetic energy. Pendulum is also a good example to demonstrate both kinetic and potential energy. The total quantum of energy in this universe remains constant.
Some non-examples of elastic potential energy include gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and thermal energy. These types of energy are different from elastic potential energy as they are not associated with the deformation or stretching of an elastic material.
Examples of potential energy in motion include a roller coaster at the top of a hill and a stretched rubber band before it is released. Examples of kinetic energy in motion include a moving car, a swinging pendulum, and a flying bird.
Here are some examples of kinetic energy questions that can help students understand the concept better: How does the speed of an object affect its kinetic energy? What happens to the kinetic energy of a moving car when it comes to a stop? How is kinetic energy different from potential energy? Can you give an example of an everyday object that has a lot of kinetic energy? How does the mass of an object impact its kinetic energy?
An object falling from a height undergoes a conversion from potential energy (stored energy due to its position) to kinetic energy (energy of motion). Similarly, a stretched spring that is released will convert potential energy stored in the spring to kinetic energy as it compresses and accelerates.
One example that illustrates the difference between potential and kinetic energy is a roller coaster. When the roller coaster is at the top of a hill, it has potential energy because of its height above the ground. As it goes down the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. Another example is a stretched rubber band - when it is stretched, it has potential energy, and when it is released, it converts this potential energy into kinetic energy as it snaps back into its original shape.

The boulder falling through the air has kinetic energy. This is the energy possessed by an object in motion.
As an object falls, its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. This occurs as the object accelerates due to gravity, increasing its speed and kinetic energy.
When the ball is positioned in your hands it has full potential energy. As you move and the ball is thrown at the basket, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, by the transfer of kinetic energy from your arms, to your hands, to the ball. When the ball hits the basket some of its kinetic energy was converted into potential energy and then back into kinetic energy as it hit the ground.
potential and kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is defined in terms of motion, so anything in motion is exhibiting kinetic energy.
