Where is its gravitational potential energy a maximum?
At the top.
If you throw a ball into the air where will it have the greatest gravitational potential energy?
The ball has the highest gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest point in the air, as that is when it has a velocity of zero and is up the highest.
A girl throws a ball 15 m into the air the ball has the maximum potential energy at a height of?
The ball has the highest potential energy at its maximum height (15m in the air). At the beginning, the ball has only kinetic energy and no potential energy. But as the ball travels upward, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. When the ball changes direction, there is no kinetic energy, as all of it is now potential energy. As the ball returns back down, potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy.
What energy occur as a pendulum swings?
There is Mechanical Energy. This Mechanical Energy equals Potential + Kinetic Energies. At the maximum heigh and with the pendulum set still there is the maximum Potential Energy (so Kinetic equals 0, and Potential Energy equals Mechanical Energy). When we release the pendulum this Potential Energy transforms into Kinetic Energy which will be maximum and equal to the Mechanical Energy when the 'rope' or 'string' that holds the pendulum is in the same direction as the acceleration, or force, in this case gravity. Then, and if there is no friction (e.g. air) the pendulum will reach the same maximum heigh that it had in X0 and the Kinetic Energy will transform into Potential, reinitiating the process but in the opposite direction. Hope i helped and sorry for my english. :)
Can the Newton's Cradle possess potential energy?
Sure, when the ball is in the highest position, it has a maximum amount of potential energy. When it is just about to hit the other balls, the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. When the other ball goes up again, the kinetic energy turns, once more, into potential energy.Sure, when the ball is in the highest position, it has a maximum amount of potential energy.

Explain how the maximum height is related to the maximum potential energy?
This question makes sense in the context of something like a pendulum. At the top of its swing, a pendulum is at maximum height, is not moving and so has zero kinetic energy, and has maximum potential energy since all its energy is potential. As it falls, it gradually moves with increasing speed, so its potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy. At the bottom of the swing, it is moving at maximum speed, and all its energy is kinetic, none is potential, Then it starts to move upwards again, and its kinetic energy is gradually converted back to potential energy.
How does Kinetic and Potential energy relate to Pendulums in different ways?
Maximum kinetic energy occurs at the bottom of the swing. Maximum potential energy occurs at the top of the swing.
Where is its gravitational potential energy a maximum?
At the top.
What would have the most potential energy?
Potential energy is the amount of energy stored in an object due to its height. This is maximum for an object which has maximum height and vice versa. So the most potential energy would be for object with greatest height.
When does the string of a car on a roller coaster store its maximum gravitational potential energy?
Any object has maximum gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest position.
As a planet approaches perihelion does it potential energy increase or decrease?
At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum. The sum of kinetic + potential energy, of course, remains constant.At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum.

The ball has the highest gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest point in the air, as that is when it has a velocity of zero and is up the highest.
When pendulum stops has the kinetic energy changed to potential energy?
As the pendulum stops swinging, its maximum kinetic energy (the initial energy at the beginning of the swing) decreases, and its potential energy increases. Once the pendulum stops, it will have zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.

What is the final velocity of an object that decreases in kinetic energy and increases in potential energy?
Its final velocity will be zero when it reaches maximum potential energy.
