Yes, every stationary body possesses potential energy due to its position within a gravitational field. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the body moves.
when you are going up a hill by walking you are converting your potential energy into kinetic energy with every step and also storing more and more potential energy with every step if you stop after every step but if you are walking with a certain velocity you possess kinetic energy . At the top of the hill when you stop you possess maximum potential energy.
In a pendulum, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the bob swings down. At the bottom of the swing, the kinetic energy is at its peak while potential energy is at its lowest. As the pendulum swings back up, this kinetic energy is then converted back into potential energy before the process repeats.
when an electric charger moves from higher to lower potential energy, it supplies energy to us but when it is moved from lower to higher potential, we have to supply energy to it........... because every thing has a tendency to move from a point of higher potential to lower potential........
When a moving object comes to a halt, it simply means that the energy that set it moving in the first place has run out. In other words there is no more kinetic energy available to cause the object to move. Remember that for every action there is an opposite but equal reaction. If you push a cart forward, you are applying a measurable force that moves the object, but as soon as you stop pushing the cart, then gravity, air resistance etc will counteract the momentum and eventually the cart, if on a level surface, will stop
Usually it means the object has gained height. It could also happen if the object is moved to a planet with higher gravity. Potential NRG also occurs when a positively charged object moves into an area of higher potential in a electric or magnetic field, or when a negatively charged object moves into an area of lower potential in an electric or magnetic field.

yes it is better than any other energy because potential energy is in every energy
A hurricane can possess a tremendous amount of energy, with the potential to release as much energy as 10,000 nuclear bombs exploding every second. This makes hurricanes one of the most powerful natural disasters in terms of destructive power, capable of causing widespread devastation and loss of life.

yes. every cell in the world does.

Potential energy can't be measured directly but can be calculated in between two states. Potential energy is also sometimes called as the mechanical energy or stored energy. Every object or body has the ability to have potential energy by different means. Springs carry potential energy when it is compressed or stretched, and when released, all that potential will turn to kinetic energy because the body gains motion. Potential energy always changes into kinetic energy again by different means. Potential energy is calculated by using this expression. Ep = mgh, where m= mass, g= gravity if the body is at height, h= the height.

Kinetic energy depends on movement; potential energy only on the position (when there are forces that act on an object).
Yes, because you move in everyday life and moving includes using energy

For every meter it's raised, it gains 833 more joules of gravitational potential energy.
