Potential Energy
kinetic energy
The type of energy of a boulder sitting on a cliff is potential energy. Potential energy is possible energy as opposed to actual energy. If it were to start rolling down the hill, the energy would change to kinetic energy.
It would be potential energy as long as the boulder stays still.
a boulder falling through the air still has some potential energy, but some of its potential energy has changed to kinetic energy...so it has both potential and kinetic!

Yes, if it is rolling at a constant speed it has potential energy.
Potential energy is energy of position. If you talk about gravitational potential energy, an object higher up has more potential energy. It doesn't make sense to assign an "absolute value" to potential energy; you can only talk about a difference in potential energy. However, for purposes of calculation, you can arbitrarily assign a potential energy of zero for objects at a certain height - for example, the ground level, or an infinite distance from Earth.
It has kinetic energy.
Potential energy is often referred to as energy based on position but this is not totally true, for example electrical energy for instance has a position but it is still not potential but it is kinetic. This is because electrical energy is moving. Potential energy is actually referred to as energy that has the potential to move. For example, a boulder at the tip of a cliff. That boulder has the potential to move and fall off the cliff but it hasn't. Once it has however, its potential energy will be spent up turning the potential energy into kinetic. Types of Potential Energy: Nuclear: The Nucleus of an atom Chemical: Chemical bonds holding atoms together Elastic: A rubber band that is stretched out (I maybe wrong for this to be a type of potential energy)Thermal: Something heating up or cooling down.

It is kinetic energy because it is in motion.Jesus loves you! A car rolling down a hill is an example of which type of energy?kinetic...Potential energy
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!
