Want this question answered?
the object has a potential energy relative to , for example, the bottom of the hill, or the bottom of the slide.
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.
At the steepest point near the bottom of the hill
Gravitational energy is when an object has more potential energy because of its higher or up hill position. An object rolling down a steep hill will have more energy than one from a lower position.
The energy is from the force of gravity pushing the object down the hill, without gravity the object would not fall. The object would remain in place until acted upon by an outside force.

If she's coasted down the hill at some speed, then she'll be carrying kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill.
Potential energy at the top and kinetic energy at the bottom.
An object will have more potential energy at the top of a 100 foot hill. Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to height.

Gravitational energy is when an object has more potential energy because of its higher or up hill position. An object rolling down a steep hill will have more energy than one from a lower position.
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.
When the rider is at the top of the hill, her potential energy is the greatest, and her kinetic energy is the least.
Yes, More potential energy yES
at the bottom of the hill
Any object which is moving from a lower level to a higher level is converting kenetic energy (ie climbing a set of stairs for example) to potential energy. A car which has been parked at the top of a hill has used kenetic enegry to get up there and has potential to roll down to the bottom of the hill if the brake is released.
