A freely falling object eventually stops on reaching the ground. What happens to its kinetic energy?

${\tt{\blue{\bold{\huge{Answer}}}}}$

As the object hits the hard ground, its kinetic energy gets converted into

(i) heat energy (the object and the ground become slightly warm)

(ii) sound energy (sound is heard when the object hits the ground)

(iii) potential energy of configuration of the body and the ground (the object and the ground get deformed a little bit at the point of collision).
