Well, we know gravity is the pull on an object. Also, that potential energy is when an object is at the highest point. So, some examples of this would be when a roller coaster is at the very top, it is when it has the most potential energy, and gravity is pulling upon it.
mass
It isn't clear what you mean with "he", but an object's gravitational potential energy is greatest at its highest position.
Potential energy is a form of energy that is stored within an object and it can be released or converted into another form of energy. Potential energy is most often associated with restoring forces such as in a spring, which stores potential energy when compressed or stretched.
all objects do have energy it is all a question of which type you have potential; energy and kinetic energy potential energy is like stored energy and the object is known to have the potential to do work wher as kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to the motion of the object
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.

This is called potential energy. The most common form of potential energy is an object suspended above the ground. Its height gives it potential energy, which is defined as mgh, where m is the mass, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height.

The position of an object affects its gravitational potential energy (or GPE) because GPE is calculated by multiplying mass by the value for gravity (on Earth it's 9.81) and the objects height. The higher up an object is the more potential energy it will have because it has farther to fall.

It isn't clear what you mean by "it". In the case of gravitational potential energy, it is greatest when an object is at its highest position (or when two objects are furthest apart). For other types of potential energy, the situation is different.
work=change in kinetic energy, doing work on an object by moving it up increases that object's potential energy because it has the POTENTIAL to fall due to gravity. kinetic energy is lost in the movement of the object. However, throughout an entire closed system, the total energy in joules (or kinetic enery plus potential energy) does remain constant. this is useful because the initial energy and the final energy most be equal, and if thats true, then initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy must equal final kinetic energy plus final potential energy. does that help?

In the case of a falling object, the instant before the object hits the ground. U = KE + PE; PE=-KE . Inversely, the object has the highest potential energy (lowest kinetic energy) at the starting point of the fall.
There are different sorts of potential energy but the most common in physics is gravitational potential energy. An object of mass m has a potential energy of mgh where g is gravity (9.81 in metric units) and h is the height above ground.
