False. Kinetic energy is not stored energy; rather, it is the energy of an object that is in motion. The energy that is stored and can be used for motion is called potential energy. When an object is at rest, it may have potential energy based on its position or state, but once it begins to move, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. For example, a rock at the top of a hill has potential energy due to its height, and when it rolls down, that energy transforms into kinetic energy as it gains speed. So, kinetic energy is directly associated with the motion of an object, while potential energy is related to its potential to move when released.
