Working completely in the dark, I'll take a wild guess and say that
point 'a' is higher off the ground or the floor than point 'b' is.
I could be wrong. I'd have a better chance of guessing right if I could
see the picture.
The gravitational potential energy of the ball increases from point b to a because as the ball moves upward from b to a, it gains height. Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to an object's height above the reference point, so the higher the ball goes, the greater its gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above a reference point. As an object's height increases, its gravitational potential energy also increases because the object has the potential to do more work as it falls to a lower height due to gravity. Conversely, as the object's height decreases, its gravitational potential energy decreases.
The gravitational potential energy in the system increases as you lift the apple because work is done against gravity. This potential energy is stored in the apple-Earth system and can be released if the apple falls back to the ground.
i don't understand the relationship part but i know GPE which is gravitational potential energy is any object above the ground i hope this helps if it doesn't i don't care bye doodles he he i am funny popopoop limbo limbo limbo how low can you go how low can you go he he
The gravitational potential energy increases when the center of gravity of an object is raised, as the object has been lifted against gravity. The potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the center of gravity above a reference point, such as the ground.
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field, while gravitational potential is the potential energy an object has per unit mass at a particular location in a gravitational field. Gravitational potential depends on the mass of the object while gravitational potential energy depends on the object's mass and position.

Gravitational energy is the potential energy associated with gravitational force. If an object falls from one point to another point inside a gravitational field, the force of gravity will do positive work on the object, and the gravitational potential energy will decrease by the same amount.
He has the most gravitational potential energy at the highest point of his trajectory, when he is at the peak of his jump before starting to descend back down.

The ball has the most potential energy at the highest point of its trajectory
No, gravitational portential energy is more with more hight and gravitational kinetic energy is maximum just before reaching the ground.
Gravitational potential energy is an energy form based on an object's position above or below another point. It is directly related to an object's weight and height relative to a reference point, such as the Earth's surface.
The pendulum's momentum or kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy until all of the kinetic energy is converted. The pendulum stops.
To calculate an object's gravitational potential energy, you need to know the object's mass, the acceleration due to gravity, and the height at which the object is located above a reference point. The formula for gravitational potential energy is PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the object.
The kinetic energy of the ball is at its maximum when it is initially thrown, as it has the highest speed at that point. The gravitational potential energy of the ball is at its maximum when the ball reaches its highest point in the throw, where its height above the ground is greatest.
Since the top of the first hill is the highest point on the track, it's also the point at which the roller coaster's gravitational potential energy is greatest. As the roller coaster passes over the top of the first hill, its total energy is greatest. Most of that total energy is gravitational potential energy but a small amount is kinetic energy, the energy of motion. From that point on, the roller coaster does two things with its energy. First, it begins to transform that energy from one form to another--from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and from kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy, back and forth. Second, it begins to transfer some of its energy to its environment, mostly in the form of heat and sound. Each time the roller coaster goes downhill, its gravitational potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases. Each time the roller coaster goes uphill, its kinetic energy decreases and its gravitational potential energy increases. But each transfer of energy isn't complete because some of the energy is lost to heat and sound. Because of this lost energy, the roller coaster can't return to its original height after coasting downhill. That's why each successive hill must be lower than the previous hill. Eventually the roller coaster has lost so much of its original total energy that the ride must end. With so little total energy left, the roller coaster can't have much gravitational potential energy and must be much lower than the top of the first hill.
What type of energy is given off with the heat energy?
