Potential energy
Gravitational potential energy is the type of energy stored in an object if it is raised in a gravitational field. A rock on top of a hill is a good example of this as it has a higher potential energy than a rock at the bottom of a hill.
Potential Energy
It has potential energy that can be released by starting it rolling down the hill so that the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and friction with the surface.
Gravitational energy Potential energy
A rock on top of a hill has potential energy, not kinetic energy. If it starts rolling down the hill then the potential energy transforms to kinetic energy.

Potential Energy
Potential energy is the energy stored in a rock before its fall from a hill.
It has potential energy that can be released by starting it rolling down the hill so that the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and friction with the surface.
Gravitational energy Potential energy
If a rock was about to fall off a hill, that would be potential energy. If that rock was sliding down the hill, that would be kinetic energy; it is actually moving.
gravitational potential energy converts gradually to kinetic energy. At the bottom of the hill, when the rock has stopped moving, there will be no gravitational energy or kinetic energy, it will have all been transformed to heat, sound, friction, and maybe some damage to the rock or the ground. (permanent distortion)
A rock on the top of a hill has potential energy. When it falls it has kinetic energy. You are probably in 6th grade to be learning this. :) Hope this helped you!
The rock's PE is 29400 joules.
It loses it's kinetic energy, the energy of motion. If it were logded against a rock on a hill, it has potential energy stored because of it's position on the hill.
