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.

What energy has a loose rock on top of a hill?

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.


When a rock topples from the top of a hill potential energy is converted into?

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)


A rollar coaster stop at the top of the hill What can you infer about its kinetic energy?

The roller coaster does not have kinetic energy at the top of the hill


In energy transformations when a roller coaster is at the top of the hill the kinetic energy is?

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.


When the coaster is at the top of the second hill what is the relationship between kinetic energy and 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.


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!


How do you Construct a model of an object that possess kinetic energy?

a ball at the top of a hill has potentail energy and when it is rolled is has kinetic.


A boy on a bicycle is resting at the top of a hill. Then, he rides his bicycle down the hill. Describe how the boy’s potential and kinetic energy differ at the top, middle, and bottom of the hill.?

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.


What is the energy acting on a skier at the top of the hill and ib the bottom?

Potential energy at the top and kinetic energy at the bottom.


Which of these is an example of potiential energy?

A stretched rubber band is an example of potential energy. When the rubber band is released, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.


What energy does a snowball at the top of a hill have?

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.


Is kinetic energy energy stored in a bicycle at the top of a 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.
