how would you describe the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy? Why does this relationship occur?

Potential energy can be described as the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position. It can be described as the energy possessed by an object which is at rest.

Kinetic energy can be described as the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its state of movement. In simpler words, it is the energy possessed by a moving object.

The potential energy in an object is converted into kinetic energy when any work has to be done by the object. This relationship occurs because one form of energy can be converted into another form of energy.
