The energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy.
Potential energy is the energy that an object has stored in it as a result of its position. Regarding a reference point, potential energy is defined.
The energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy.
The sum of kinetic and potential energy is called mechanical energy.
