Gravitational potential energy (gpe). Gravity is the reason for the dominoes descent, and it's also the reason why they don't stop until they hit the ground. By the way, gpe can be calculated by the following: GPE=mgh
m=mass
g=acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s^2)
h=height (distance from ground)

What type of energy does a ball have when it falling through the air?
Potential Energy.
A boulder falling through the air has what type of energy?
a boulder falling through the air still has some potential energy, but some of its potential energy has changed to kinetic energy...so it has both potential and kinetic!
A moving hang glider has what type of energy?
Kinetic because it is actually moving as well as "potential" energy because it is up in the air and technically falling due to gravity. As it "falls", the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. At the point in time when the glider lands, all of the potential energy has now been converted to kinetic energy.
Is gravitational energy the same as potential energy?
It is a type of potential energy, but there are other types of potential energy, too.
