Potential and kinetic energy transformed into another kind of energy are two of their most important similarities. Potential energy turns into kinetic energy when a force is applied to it. It means that even in a motionless state, an object has the capacity to move.
For Example:
Consider that you are holding a hammer. The hammer contains potential energy when you raise it. Whereas the hammer will have kinetic energy when you drop it and hit the surface of a table,.
