Answer:

The moving object transfers kinetic energy with the object that isn't moving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is a form of energy that a object or particle has by the reason of motion. Potential energy is a form of energy that a object or particle has by the reason of no movement. The object that is moving knocks down or collides with an object that isn't moving, and the object that is moving transfers kinetic energy to potential energy, and the object that wasn't moving transfers potential energy to kinetic energy.
