A rock that is sitting on top of a cliff has what is called potential energy.
If it's not moving it doesn't have any energy
The rock has gravitational potential energy due to its position above the ground.
The type of energy of a boulder sitting on a cliff is potential energy. Potential energy is possible energy as opposed to actual energy. If it were to start rolling down the hill, the energy would change to kinetic energy.
The potential energy of the rock on the 100 m cliff is twice that of the rock on the 50 m cliff. This is because potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the object above the reference point. So, the higher the cliff, the greater the potential energy.
The rock perched on the edge of a cliff has gravitational potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy is stored in the rock as a result of its vertical distance from the ground and can be converted into kinetic energy if the rock falls off the cliff.
If it's not moving it doesn't have any energy
The rock has gravitational potential energy due to its position above the ground.
A rock that falls suddenly from the top of a cliff is usually referred to as a rockfall or rockslide. This can happen due to factors like erosion, weathering, seismic activity, or human interference, and can pose a danger to anyone below the cliff.
No. That is a rock fall.

gravity its always acting on you
The rock rolled off the cliff due to the force of gravity. Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, so when the rock's position was disturbed or it was unbalanced, gravity caused it to roll off the cliff.
"Sitting in Limbo" was written by Jimmy Cliff and Guilly Bright. It was first recorded and released by Jimmy Cliff in 1971.
Yes, a large rock falling from a cliff and breaking is an example of mechanical energy being transformed into kinetic energy, as the potential energy stored in the rock at the top of the cliff is converted into energy of motion as it falls and breaks upon impact.
In activity B, where you are pushing against a rock but not moving it, work is being done in its scientific meaning as the force you apply results in a displacement over time, even though the rock doesn't move. In activities A and C, no work is being done because there is either no displacement in the case of sitting still on a rock (A) or no force causing a displacement in the case of pushing a rock over a cliff (C).
He was balanced precariously on top of the fence. The rock was precariously balanced on the edge of the cliff.
