Height directly affects gravitational potential energy, since this energy is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). Height does not affect kinetic energy, which depends on the speed, not on the height. Except indirectly - for example, if an object is falling down, its speed will usually increase.
the potential energy gets changed into kinetic energy so when it hits the ground it will bounce back up.
Speed is part of kinetic energy ... KE = 1/2 mv2 ( v is velocity, speed). Kinetic energy can be converted to potential energy, if done properly. Height is a factor of PE. PE = mgh (h is height). So an increase in KE, more speed, can be transformed into more height.
Potential energy is associated with height. Kinetic energy is associated with motion.
Kinetic energy of a falling object can be calculated for a specific height at a specific point since a falling body accelerates which means that it's velocity is changing every moment. To calculate the kinetic energy of a falling body at a certain height, we should know the mass of the body and its velocity at that point.Then we can apply the following formula: K.E. of an object = 1/2(mv2)

Use the formula for kinetic energy: KE = (1/2) mv2 (one-half times the mass times speed squared). Clearly, the amount of kinetic energy depends both on the mass and on the speed of the object.
Kinetic energy = (1/2) x mass x speed2. Height has nothing to do with it.Kinetic energy = (1/2) x mass x speed2. Height has nothing to do with it.Kinetic energy = (1/2) x mass x speed2. Height has nothing to do with it.Kinetic energy = (1/2) x mass x speed2. Height has nothing to do with it.
Potential energy is because of height. Kinetic energy is because of motion.
HEIght and chemistry
Kinetic energy is dependent on which point you are talking about. When it is about to be dropped, kinetic energy is zero. When it reaches almost hits the ground, there is maximum kinetic energy.
Potential energy is associated with height. Kinetic energy is associated with motion.
The height of the hill does affect the kinetic energy directly. The formula goes like this : Etotal= Ekinetic energy+Egravitational potential energy Ek= 1/2(mass)(velocity2) and Eg= (mass)(gravitational constant 9.8)(height) So as you get closer to the ground, the kinetic energy increases while the gravitational potential energy decreases, but the total energy remains the same throughout. Therefore, the higher you are, the more energy you are going to gain as you travel down the hill.
