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)

yes
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.

Potential energy is the energy stored in a rock before its fall from a hill.
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
If a rock was about to fall off a hill, that would be potential energy. If that rock was sliding down the hill, that would be kinetic energy; it is actually moving.
That is potential energy.
