Kinetic energy, representing the energy of motion, and potential energy, representing stored energy, are interconnected. Kinetic energy can be converted into potential energy when an object moves against a force, storing energy due to its position or deformation. Conversely, potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the object falls or the deformation is released. This interconversion principle is fundamental in many physical systems, such as roller coasters, springs, and energy storage devices.
