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.
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.

Its final velocity will be zero when it reaches maximum potential energy.
Before a yo yo is released, it has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. As the yo yo goes down the string, its kinetic energy increases and it potential energy decreases. When the yo yo reaches the bottom of the string it has maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy. As the yo yo goes back up the string, its kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases until the yo yo reaches the top of the string, at which point kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is at its maximum.
The maximum potential energy is at the top of each swing and is at its minimum at the bottom of the swing when it is perpendicular to a horizontal surface. The maximum kinetic energy is at the bottom of the swing, and is at its minimum at the top of each swing. Please refer to the related link below for an illustration.
No, gravitational portential energy is more with more hight and gravitational kinetic energy is maximum just before reaching the ground.
A body's potential energy is at its maximum when it is at its greatest height to which it is elevated from the ground or another chosen position, such as a table top. Refer to the related link below for more information and illustrations.
A car is not energy; it may have energy. The energy related to movement is called kinetic energy.
Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.
Kinetic energy is related to movement (a faster object has more kinetic energy); potential energy is related to position (higher up, objects have more potential energy).Examples:A leopard waiting in a tree, motionless, waiting to jump on you has potential energy.A leopard leaping on you has kinetic energy, or energy of movement.Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has when it is in motion. Potential energy is the energy that an object has when it is at rest. For example, a book sitting on a desk has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. If the book falls off of the desk, then its kinetic energy increases and its potential energy decreases.
Maximum kinetic energy occurs at the bottom of the swing. Maximum potential energy occurs at the top of the swing.
At the top.

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.
1) at the top of the swing, the swinging object has all potential energy and no kinetic energy (no speed at that moment) while at the bottom there is no potential energy but a maximum in kinetic energy, so that the swinging object is fastest at the bottom.
Any object has maximum gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest position.
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
