As a dropped penny falls toward the ground energy is converted to energy?
Since the penny was up and stationary before (in your hand or wherever), it had potential energy at first. When it's dropped, it is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion).
If a 20-kg weight is 5 m above the ground and then falls toward the ground how much kinetic energy does the weight have when it is 2 m above the ground?
Calculate the gravitational potential energy between 5 m and 2 m above the ground. If you ignore air resistance, all of that potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, so that's the answer.
Dominoes standing in a row will all fall if the first one is tipped toward the others how does the law of conservation of energy describe this?
The Law of Conservation of Energy doesn't give you much useful information in this situation. Anyway, what happens in terms of energy is simply that the dominoes initially have potential energy. While they are falling, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Once they hit the ground, the kinetic energy gets transferred to other forms of energy, in part the shock wave (vibration) imparted by the domino to the ground, in part heat.
The kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion and position of an object is?
This is actually two questions. Energy relating to the motion of an object is kinetic energy. Energy related to its position is potential energy (as with a brick suspended at some distance above the ground). Release the brick and its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. The two are complementary. As the brick accelerates toward the ground its kinetic energy increases; as the distance decreases during that acceleration, it's potential energy decreases.
What is the sound made by falling coins called?
twanging sound as it spins down and stops, usually on one of it's flat sides. jingling sound when it is dropped on or thrown toward the ground. kreaking

Do atoms naturally move toward low potential energy?
Yes they move toward lower potential energy.
How does gravity cause a mudslide?
Gravity is constantly acting on a hill, trying to pull it toward the earth at all times. Once the resistance of the land begins to buckle under the pressure of gravity, the land breaks free from itself and rushes toward the earth. Gravity gives the mud potential energy which is released and converted to kinetic energy once the,slide begins.
Why do plant stems grow toward the light and the roots toward the ground?
If you grow the Stem in the dark then it wouldn't be healthy/wouldn't grow, and if you grow the Root not towards the ground then it will be wobbly and go ON the ground INSTEAD of going into the ground and wouldn't grow :)
What force the water drops to fall toward the ground?
Gravity.
