☆☆☆☆☆Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has due to its motion or movement. For instance if a car drives into a wall the energy of its movement is what destroys the wall, That energy is kinetic energy.
Note: Heat is also a form of Kinetic energy because heat is the movement (vibration energy) of atoms or molecules.
Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field. The higher an object is the greater its gravitational potential. When it falls the gravitational potential becomes kinetic energy.

energy can neither be created nor we destroy
That energy can only be converted between different forms ~Apex
That most of an atom's mass was packed in a central nucleus
When you shine a certain level of light wavelength on metal, you can knock electrons off the atoms of the metal. This phenomenon was explained by Albert Einstein in 1905, for which he received a Nobel Prize in 1921.
