Kinetic energy because it is in motion

Hi there!

Potential energy is idle energy such as that of the frog preparing to leap or a roller-coaster at the peak of it's height. From that we can conclude that the from leaping is kinetic energy since the frog is using it's stored up potential energy to leap.
