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.
a rock sitting at the top of a hill
gravitational potential energy converts gradually to kinetic energy. At the bottom of the hill, when the rock has stopped moving, there will be no gravitational energy or kinetic energy, it will have all been transformed to heat, sound, friction, and maybe some damage to the rock or the ground. (permanent distortion)
That is potential energy.
If it's not moving it doesn't have any energy
A rock on top of a hill has potential energy, not kinetic energy. If it starts rolling down the hill then the potential energy transforms to kinetic 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!
The roller coaster does not have kinetic energy at the top of the hill
That is potential energy.
Potential energy😄😄😄
Potential energy at the top and kinetic energy at the bottom.
When the rider is at the top of the hill, her potential energy is the greatest, and her kinetic energy is the least.
Kinetic energy comes from movement. If the roller coaster is moving at the top of the hill, it has kinetic energy. if the rollercoaster isn't moving then it has potential energy.
If it's not moving it doesn't have any energy
