What are both kinetic and potential energy related to?

Kinetic energy is possessed by an object, by virtue of its movement. It is dependent upon mass and velocity. Potential energy is also affected by its position or state. However, it is more closely linked with forces such as the force of gravity.

While kinetic energy of an object is comparable to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment. Kinetic energy can be conveyed from one object to another. When kinetic energy accelerates, the body maintains unless it speeds up.
