YES The energy applied to the rock to overcome the inertial force of gravity to remain at rest posits "potential" energy in the rock which can be released in a fall from the level from which it has been pushed back to a condition of rest. A formula can be described to account for the energy the rock will release as it falls that includes the MASS of the rock, the ACCELERATION and final VELOCITY it achieves and the influence of FRICTION that absorbs some of the energy as it returns to rest.

no, only at the top of the hill and anywhere where the car would move if leet go from that position.

Does a moving car have potential energy?

A moving car can have potential energy. It can be on a hill or a rise. This would give it gravitational potential energy. It can have gasoline, a battery with charge or both. This would give it chemical potential energy.


Why is a rock on the top of a hill kinetic energy?

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.


How is a ball on a hill gravitational energy?

the object has a potential energy relative to , for example, the bottom of the hill, or the bottom of the slide.


What is the potential energy increased by going up hill?

gravitational potential energy


What happens to the potential energy and the energy of a ball as it rolls down a hill from a position of rest at the top of the hill?

The potential energy gets less until the ball gets to the bottom of the hill, at which point the potential energy is zero. The potential energy that is lost, gets converted to Kinetic energy of the ball that goes faster and faster as it gets more and more of the Potential energy.


Will an object have more potential energy atop a 50 foot hill or 100 foot hill?

An object will have more potential energy at the top of a 100 foot hill. Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to height.


The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is?

Potential energy


Does a rock sitting on a hill have energy why?

It has potential energy that can be released by starting it rolling down the hill so that the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and friction with the surface.

Is rolling down a hill potential or kinetic energy?

Yes, because potential energy is energy stored but kinetic is energy in motion.
