Carry it up a cliff.

Increase the height of the object or increase the mass.
A book on the bottom shelf usually has more kinetic energy because it has the potential to fall from a greater height than a book on the top shelf. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Before it falls it has gravitational potential energy. While it falls, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Part of this gets dissipated by friction - mainly converted to heat. Once it hits the ground, all the energy will be converted to heat.
The total mechanical energy of the book falling off the shelf is the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy. Therefore, the total mechanical energy is 110 J (50 J potential energy + 60 J kinetic energy).
The potential energy of a book on a bookshelf is due to its position above the ground. When the book is lifted or moved from the shelf, the potential energy decreases as it is converted into kinetic energy.
When a book falls off a shelf and hits the ground, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it falls. When it hits the ground, some of the kinetic energy is converted into sound and heat energy due to the impact.

When a book is falling from a bookshelf, it is in a state of kinetic energy because it is in motion. Potential energy arises when the book is stationary on the shelf due to its height above the ground.
no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the shelf

Kinetic Energy
Yes, a book sitting on a shelf has potential energy due to its position. When you lift the book off the shelf, its potential energy decreases as it moves closer to the ground.
It's neither. It's just a piece of fruit. While it's hanging and not moving, it has gravitational potential energy because of its position, and food potential energy because of its chemical composition. When it separates from the tree and moves to a different location, such as the ground or a processing plant, it has kinetic energy because of its motion. Its chemical potential energy doesn't change until it's processed, consumed, or rotted.
Yes, potential energy and kinetic energy are interrelated in the sense that they can be interconverted. For example, potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as an object falls, while kinetic energy can be converted back into potential energy when the object reaches a certain height. However, they do not rely on each other to exist – an object can have potential energy without kinetic energy (e.g., a book on a shelf) and vice versa (e.g., a moving car).
its physics term for the fact that it is not in motion (kinetic energy) but it is above the ground, so at any moment it could "potentially" have kinetic energy by falling to the floor.
