The general rule for bicycling is to maintain a cadence - pedaling pace - of 80-100 rpm. Use a gear that lets you do that and you're mostly good.
Then there are finer details like to avoid cross chaining.

a 5-speed MTB is either very old or very cheap. Not a good choice for some hard DH riding. With luck, it'll only be the bike getting busted up.

What is the difference between all mountain and cross country mountain bikes?
An AM bike is basically a cross between a XC and a DH MTB. Usually full suspension and long enough travel to take some fairly serious drops and jumps, but still light enough and with a gear ratio and a ride position that'll make it somewhat useful on the flat and during climbs. An AM bike is the best bike if you want to ride to the top, and do a decent descent. An XC bike will climb far better, but would suffer on the way down. The DH bike would be a pain to climb with, but be the best for the run down.

What is the fastest mountain bike?
For a human-powered bicycle it's pretty pointless to talk about the fastest bike, as the rider is more important than the ride. To get a high top speed you want a BMX with the most number of teeth at the chainwheel by the pedals and the least number of teeth by the rear wheel. This will make the bike heavier to get going though.
Will gravity slow down a bike?
Gravity itself does not slow down a bike. However, when riding uphill, gravity acts in the opposite direction, making it harder to pedal and potentially slowing the bike down. Additionally, gravity can contribute to the bike picking up speed when going downhill.
