If i am sitting without doing anything, will i have potential energy in me? We will requore energy to do work. So what is that energy called that you use before producing kinetic energy? Will i have kinetic energy of i apply any kind of force (muscular, gravitational and so on)

You will have potential energy = mgh if you are sitting at height h and not doing any work.The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy.A force must be applied to an object in order to accelerate it. We must put in effort in order to apply a force. 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.Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects and transformed into other kinds of energy. For example, a flying squirrel might collide with a stationary chipmunk. Following the collision, some of the initial kinetic energy of the squirrel might have been transferred into the chipmunk or transformed to some other form of energy.
