Stored energy is also called potential energy, and it is often categorized as the energy at rest, whereas it is represented by the formula: Pe = mgh , which means that the potential energy of an object can be determined by multiplying its mass, acceleration due to gravity ( 9.8m/s^2) and height. The energy in motion on the other hand is called kinetic energy, and this energy can be found on object or bodies that are moving, whereas it is represented by the formula: Ke = ½ mv^2, which means the kinetic energy of an object or a body is equal to one half it's mass times velocity squared.
Examples of situations showing potential energy:
Ball on top of a table.
Rock on top of the roof.
Examples of situations exhibiting kinetic energy:
Car moving at 20 m/s.
Runner running around the oval.
