Answer

The energy of the body due to its motion is called kinetic energy. On the other hand, the energy stored in the body at rest is the potential energy. For example, a stone placed at a height has a potential energy, which is due to its height. However, when the stone is thrown from the height, its energy while falling down is kinetic energy.
