42 inches = 1.0668 meter
PE = M g H = (1,200) (9.8) (1.0668) = 12,545.568 joules(rounded) relative to the bottom of the hill

Are there examples of potential energy?
Gravitational Potential Energy, Elastic Potential Energy, Chemical Potential Energy, Electrical Potential Energy, Nuclear Potential Energy. If you want more info, check out this wikipedia page that I linked.
What energy does a boulder have sitting on top of a mountain?
A rock on the top of a hill has potential energy. When it falls it has kinetic energy. You are probably in 6th grade to be learning this. :) Hope this helped you!
What are the forces acting on the cars and explain why the cars do not slide down the hill?
The car is being acted upon by gravity and friction. The reason that the car doesn't slide down the hill is because friction is keeping the car in place.
What type of energy exists in a ball sitting on top of a hill?
kinetic energy
Is a bicycle coasting on a level sidewalk potential or kinetic energy?
kinetic because it is using force. it would be potential if it was at the top of a hill.
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is what energy?
Gravitational energy Potential energy
What is the potential energy increased by going up hill?
gravitational potential energy
3 examples of gravitational potential energy?
Car on hill a car on a hill a pecil on a hill
What energy is possessed by the ball on a hill?
Gravitational potential energy.
How is a ball on a hill gravitational energy?
the object has a potential energy relative to , for example, the bottom of the hill, or the bottom of the slide.
What energy is a rock on top of a hill?
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.
How can you increase gravitational potential energy for a car?
Drive up a hill.
As a car rolls down a hill where would the motion and gravitational energy be equal?
As a car rolls down a hill, the motion and gravitational potential energy(GPE) will be equal when the kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy.
Which has greater gravitational potential energy a car sittknv on top of a hill or a bowling ball sitting kn top of the same hill?
Gravitational potential energy is proportional to the object's height and its mass. So if the car has more mass than the bowling ball has, then it also has more gravitational potential energy.
At the top of the first hill the cart has the highest (Gravitational) Potential Energy?
Yes.
Will an object have more potential energy atop a 50 foot hill or 100 foot hill?
An object will have more potential energy at the top of a 100 foot hill. Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to height.
What kind of energy would a skier have if standing at the top of a hill?
Gravitational potential energy.
