उत्तर
| Potential Energy | Kinetic Energy |
| It is the energy of a body by virtue of its change in shape, size or configuration. | It is the energy of a body by virtue of its motion. |
| It is independent on the speed of the body. | It is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the moving body. |
