Surge protectors are rated in joules because joules measure the energy a surge protector can absorb before it fails to protect your devices. The higher the joule rating, the more energy the surge protector can handle. Choosing a surge protector with a higher joule rating can provide better protection for your electronics.
Kinetic Energy is moving energy. Here's a small experiment: 1. Throw a ball in the air (Straight up) 2. Watch it 3. When starts falling down, that's kinetic energy

When you throw a ball, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. As the ball moves through the air, its potential energy decreases as it gains kinetic energy from the force of your throw.
Throw it straight up.
At the time of the throw: Kinetic energy = 0.5*mass*(speed)^2 = 0.5*0.5*4 = 1J. There is also the potential energy at the time of the throw. If you want to know the kinetic energy at the time the ball hits the ground, that term must be added: Potential energy (with respect to the ground) at the time of throw = mass*gravity*height = 0.5*9.8*0.5 = 2.45 J.

The kinetic energy of the ball is at its maximum when it is initially thrown, as it has the highest speed at that point. The gravitational potential energy of the ball is at its maximum when the ball reaches its highest point in the throw, where its height above the ground is greatest.
In order to throw a snowball as hard as you can and it come back to you, you must throw the snowball straight up into the air.

When you throw matter from a height, mechanical energy is not conserved by you, but it is by the matter. You are exerting mechanical energy to throw the object, and the matter is conserving it by not having to do any work to move.
Throw it into the wind, or throw it straight up.
