It is not created

JazzLicks, Newton's laws more commonly tell you about change in energy and don't cover where it went .

Krypton is also the native world of Supergirl, Krypto the Superdog, Beppo the Super-Monkey, Power Girl (in her case, an alternate-universe version designated "Krypton-Two"), and the supervillain General Zod. It has been consistently described as having been destroyed shortly after Superman's escape from the planet, although the exact details of its destruction vary by time period and writers. Kryptonians were the dominant species on Krypton.

Kinetic energy is the energy OF an object in motion. There is no energy CREATED by an object in motion. The question is worded incorrectly. It is however possible to change kinetic energy into another form of energy, for example a wind turbine transfers kinetic into electrical energy.

Law of Conservation of Energy: "Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another." A better wording for the question would be: "What type of energy is released by an object in motion?" From the current wording the answer could  justifiably have been 'Potential' as an object travelling upwards gains Potential Energy at the expense of Kinetic Energy.

no, the energy it has is potential energy, once a form of energy puts it in motion, it becomes kinetic energy & Will stay in motion unless impact or friction absorbs that energy.

I told you I took Physics in 1977. So, easy-peasy...

they don't mean created from nowhere, they mean when an object increased in speed ,what sort of energy did it gain .. ( but for a vehicle using its own fuel,or dropping due to gravity .. it is magically consuming potential energy ... creating kinetic energy )

I always associated kinetics with hand motions

JazzLicks, I was going to say: it's not the energy created, it's the energy it has.
