Please use the formula for gravitational energy:PGE = mgh (mass x gravity x height)
Near Earth, the value for "gravity" is approximately 9.8 (newton/kilogram).

Does a person standing still on a hill have potential energy and how?
yes, because there is a potential that he'll move on that hill and his energy is stored while standing.
When would a person going down a hill have the most potential energy?
He would have most potential energy when he hasn't started going down yet, since the higher he is, the greater his potential energy. Potential Energy= mass*gravity*height(from ground)
A person is standing with a drawn bow and arrow. He is aiming it at a bull's-eye. What type of energy is being described?
The energy in the drawn bow is elastic energy, a type of potential energy.
What form of potential energy does a person blowing a vuvuzela have?
chemical potential energy
Is a person diving into water an example of potential energy?
Its a bad example, but some potential energy is involved. You convert chemical energy from the fuel to kinetic energy and heat energy. The kinetic energy drives you into the water. There the car sinks because of the height difference and gravity. This is a form of potential energy. A better example would be a person driving up and down a mountain. When driving up a mountain you store kinetic energy into potential energy. On the way down you regain the potential energy you stored, which results in a higher kinetic energy when driving down.
What is the person's potential energy at this height?
Not sure what you mean by "this height". An object's potential energy is equal to:gravitational potential energy = mass x gravity x height
Does a person standing still on a hill have potential energy and how?
yes, because there is a potential that he'll move on that hill and his energy is stored while standing.
What type of energy does a person have when there standing on a high platform?
Potential energy, usually referred to as U. In the scenario described, U=mgh where m=the mass of the person, g=gravity on Earth, and h=the height of the platform.
What kind of energy exists when a person jumps down a building?
his potential energy from standing on the building turns to kenetic energy when he is falling
When would a person going down a hill have the most potential energy?

What is the science term for potential?
It is the stored energy. Like for example, a person was standing still. The answer is basically the energy inside matter that is staying still.

The energy in the drawn bow is elastic energy, a type of potential energy.
How do you calculate energy input for lifting objects by weight and height lifted?
When an object is lifted to a certain height, the mechanical energy of the person or system lifting the object gets transferred into the potential energy of the object. Thus if an object of mass/weight 'm' is lifted to a height 'h', then the potential energy possed by the object at height 'h' is given as: Potential Energy (P.E)= m*g*h, where g is acceleration due to gravity and whose value is 9.8 m/s2.

Which type of energy is the person using to move the wheelchair up the ramp?
Mechanical force pushes the wheelchair up the ramp. The total weight multiplied by the height gain is the gain in potential energy. The energy needed is that plus a little extra to allow for friction. The potential energy in joules is the weight in Newtons times the height in metres.
Giveat least 10 examples of potential energy?
potential energy is an easy energy... just like kenetiic and activation energy some examples of potention energy is a person on top of a hill standing, getting ready to ski.... they have potential energy as they are not moving but are gettting ready to be involved with kenetic energy. also a match getting started...is potentiaal energy.
