Define what forces are

a force is defined as a push or pull

Define what energy is

Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat, existing in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical energy.

Define what simples are

Simple machines are mechanical devices that use a force to do valuable work by changing the direction or magnitude of the force. They have a simple mechanism accompanied by no or very little motion. For example, a pair of scissors is a simple machine that can easily cut through paper.

Define what gravitational forces are

Gravitational force is the force that attracts two bodies toward each other.

Can energy be created or destroyed?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. This principle is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. It can only change forms, like from chemical energy in food to kinetic energy when you move.
