Answer:

1. Kinetic energy

2. Heat

Step-by-step explanation:

When a space vehicle reenters the Earth's atmosphere, kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy. Because Earth's atmosphere contains so many gas and dust particles which provide friction to fast moving space vehicle and generate lots of heat. Since space is vaccume so there is no problem of heat generation but at atmospheric level we have to control speed of space vehicles.
