You have to use energy to raise a mass against the gravitational force, the object then has potential energy. If it is then let fall, this potential is released.
Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)
The situation is similar as when an object falls. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (including rotational energy in this case); part of that kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.
When an object is moved up, against the force of gravity, its potential energy increases. Since it requires some force to move it up, some other form of energy is converted into potential energy. When the object moves down (for example, when it falls down), this potential energy is again converted into some other type of energy. For more information, do some reading on the topic of "potential energy".
Kinetic because it is actually moving as well as "potential" energy because it is up in the air and technically falling due to gravity. As it "falls", the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. At the point in time when the glider lands, all of the potential energy has now been converted to kinetic energy.
A rock at the edge of a cliff has potential energy. This energy may be converted to kinetic energy by the force of gravity if it falls off the cliff.

Yes; while on the shelf it has potential energy due to gravity of mgh where m = mass and g =gravity acceleration and h is height fom floor. As it falls its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy mv squared/2 where v = velocity
It's exactly the gravitational potential energy that the stone had, relativeto the ground, before it was dropped:M G H = (9.8) x (the stone's mass) x (the height of the building) joules

The water runs down hill. That's why all rivers lead to the sea.
Chemical energy is converted into heat energy which is then converted into mechanical energy
