The Andromeda galaxy is the closest major galaxy to our own. Andromeda shows a distinct blue-shift of light when we analyze it.
saul85 [17]
At the present time, the only way we know of that light can get shifted
toward the blue end of the spectrum is the Doppler effect ... wavelengths
appear shorter than they should be when the source is moving toward us. 

IF that's true in the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it means the galaxy is
moving toward us.

We use the same reasoning to conclude that all the galaxies whose light is red-shifted are moving away from us.  That includes the vast majority of all galaxies that we can see, and it strongly supports the theory of the big bang
and the expanding universe.

If somebody ever comes along and discovers a DIFFERENT way that light
can get shifted to new, longer or shorter wavelengths, then pretty much all
of modern Cosmology will be out the window.  There's a lot riding on the
Doppler effect !

NO LINKS PLEASE. brainly to the best answer.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.

Both energies are related to motion.
