A rock on top of a hill has potential energy, not kinetic energy.
If it starts rolling down the hill then the potential energy transforms to kinetic energy.
a ball at the top of a hill has potentail energy and when it is rolled is has kinetic.
At the top of the first hill, PE is at its maximum, whereas KE is zero. When the train starts to fall down the first hill, PE decreases and KE increases. At the bottom of the hill, KE is at its maximum, and PE is zero.
at the top of the first hill, just before the first drop
As it starts to climb the lift hill, the electrical energy builds potential energy. On its way down the first drop, the cars gain kinetic energy (energy of motion) and lose potential energy (stored energy). When it goes up the next hill, the potential energy increases and kinetic decreases, evident in the cars slowing down. Potential is greatest at the top of the highest hill. Along the way, more energy is lost in friction and sound energy.
The stone would have a combination of potential and kinetic energy halfway down the hill. The potential energy would decrease as the stone moves lower, while the kinetic energy would increase as the stone gains speed.
The loose rock at the top of the hill has potential energy due to its position in relation to the ground. When the rock falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it moves downward.
gravitational potential energy converts gradually to kinetic energy. At the bottom of the hill, when the rock has stopped moving, there will be no gravitational energy or kinetic energy, it will have all been transformed to heat, sound, friction, and maybe some damage to the rock or the ground. (permanent distortion)
The roller coaster does not have kinetic energy at the top of the hill
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 of the second hill, the coaster has maximum potential energy and minimum kinetic energy. As the coaster descends, potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases due to the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy.
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!

At the top of the hill, the boy has high potential energy due to his elevated position. As he rides down, his potential energy decreases and his kinetic energy increases, reaching its maximum at the bottom of the hill. At the bottom, his potential energy is low, while his kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion, is highest.
Potential energy at the top and kinetic energy at the bottom.
A stretched rubber band is an example of potential energy. When the rubber band is released, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
The snowball at the top of a hill has potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the snowball rolls down the hill.
No. On top of the hill the bike would have potential energy. If released, by letting the bike roll downhill, it'd turn into kinetic energy as the bike picks up speed.
