=Descriptions and Explanations of Kinetic and Potential Energy=

Kinetic energy is energy due to **motion**. It all depends on **speed** and **mass**. So a soccerball has more kinetic energy than a tennis ball, but less than a basketball. Kinetic energy can change into sound energy. When you throw a ball to the ground it has kinetic which changes into **sound** energy when it hits the ground. Potential energy is stored energy. That means it is not causing any change now, but could cause **change** in the future.

Kinetic energy travels in speed and mass. Potential energy doesn't really travel in any sort or kind of way. But its source is us humans. Same for kinetic energy, we are the source.
