Any object has maximum gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest position.
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.
Upward motion on a roller coaster converts kinetic energy into potential energy. Downward motion converts potential energy into kinetic energy. Forward motion is a result of excess potential enegy converted into kinetic energy that cannot be expended while falling.
Kinetic energy is at its maximum when the velocity of the ball is greatest. This will occur immediately upon release. Air resistance will slow the ball from this point and unless the ball falls back past its original starting height, it will never achieve a velocity greater than that with which it starts.
There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.
Kinetic energy comes from movement. If the roller coaster is moving at the top of the hill, it has kinetic energy. if the rollercoaster isn't moving then it has potential energy.

At the top.
No, gravitational portential energy is more with more hight and gravitational kinetic energy is maximum just before reaching the ground.
I only know of two: 1)potential energy to kinetic energy 2)potential energy to gravitational potential energy
At the tallest point on the track. Potential energy is given by U(Which is potential energy) = mass times height time gravitational constant. You can't change the gravitational constant, or the mass of the roller coaster car. So you have to change the height. PE=mgh so more the height and the mass the more PE
the gravitational potential energy of a roller coaster is equal to two things. Not only is it equal to the gravitational potential energy, it is also equal to the kinetic energy at the lowest point of the coaster. the gravitational potential energy can be calculated as: m*g*h where m is mass (kilograms), g is gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is height (metres).d the kinetic energy at the bottom of the coaster can be calculated as (m*v^2)/2 where m is mass (kilograms), v is velocity (metres/second).
At the top of the loops the cars have the maximum potential energy. The maximum kinetic energy is when they are going fastest. So the energy they possess is switching from potential to kinetic and back again as they progress around the circuit, but the overall change from start to finish is a loss of potential energy.Potential energy-when the roller coaster is getting startedKinetic energy-roller coaster is exactly using the potential energy to speed up

The ball has the highest gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest point in the air, as that is when it has a velocity of zero and is up the highest.
Yes. At the top of the hill, the potential energy is at a maximum. As the coaster is rolling down the hill, the potential energy (or energy due to the coaster's position or height), is converted into kinetic energy (as the roller coaster is rushing downhill).

It is gravitational potential energy.
