The answer to the first question is A. Heat, because in order to heat up or catch fire, the molecules have to vibrate quickly.

This wrecking ball is an example of potential energy being converted into kinetic energy, so your answer is B. potential, kinetic.

Source: I have had to answer both questions before.
