Potential energy
Gravitational energy Potential energy
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.

It loses it's kinetic energy, the energy of motion. If it were logded against a rock on a hill, it has potential energy stored because of it's position on the hill.
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.

Potential Energy
yes
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.
It has potential energy that can be released by starting it rolling down the hill so that the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and friction with the surface.
