Basically, if it moves, it has kinetic energy. And if it is above ground level, it has gravitational potential energy.
The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.The collision with the ground is not 100% elastic - in other words, some energy is lost during the bounce.
While falling, potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy (movement energy). Some gets lost to air resistance - that gets converted to heat. Once the rock hits the ground, most of the kinetic energy will be converted to heat.
While an object is falling, most of the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy, i.e., it gets faster and faster. When it crashes on the ground, this kinetic energy is converted to other types of energy, usually heat.
This is actually two questions. Energy relating to the motion of an object is kinetic energy. Energy related to its position is potential energy (as with a brick suspended at some distance above the ground). Release the brick and its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. The two are complementary. As the brick accelerates toward the ground its kinetic energy increases; as the distance decreases during that acceleration, it's potential energy decreases.
Tide = Flow of kinetic energy from higher ground to lower ground Wind = Flow of kinetic energy from higher pressure to lower pressure Electricity = Flow of electrical energy (transfer of kinetic energy) from higher voltage to ground or low voltage.

Once the object has reached the ground, its kinetic energy is zero.
Sitting on the table the stone has potential energy, relative to the ground, of weight times height, mgh. It has zero kinetic energy so its total energy is E = 0 + mgh. When it begins falling it loses potential energy (as it loses height) and gains kinetic energy ( as it picks up speed) so the sum stays the same as initially E = KE + PE = mgh. Just before it hits the ground all of its potential energy is gone and has been transformed into kinetic energy. So the kinetic energy at the bottom (1/2)mv^2 will equal the potential energy at the top.
As an object falls from a higher level to a lower level, the gravitational potential energy that it had at the higher level changes to kinetic energy. As more and more potential energy changes to more and more kinetic energy, the increase of kinetic energy shows up in the form of greater speed.

When a mass reaches the ground it will have a lot of potential energy installed inside. at the moment of hit all the potential energy is transformed into kinetic one. According to the type of the object the kinetic energy will act. if elastic it will jump up the same distance it fell (if free fall). .....
Kinetic energy is dependent on which point you are talking about. When it is about to be dropped, kinetic energy is zero. When it reaches almost hits the ground, there is maximum kinetic energy.

Heat, sound and more kinetic energy as things are moved by the impact of the object.
