Potential energy is basically that which hasn't really done anything yet. It's energy that is stored - like in a battery. It is energy that can still take or be converted into other forms. See the link below, for more details.

It isn't clear what you mean with "he", but an object's gravitational potential energy is greatest at its highest position.

Where does it have the most potential energy?

It isn't clear what you mean by "it". In the case of gravitational potential energy, it is greatest when an object is at its highest position (or when two objects are furthest apart). For other types of potential energy, the situation is different.


Where do electrons that flow through the two photosystems have their highest potential energy?

The electrons have the highest potential energy in a photexcited P700


Where does the bob have the highest potential energy?

-- If you're talking about a pendulum, then the potential energy is highest and kinetic energy is zero at the ends of the swing, and potential energy is lowest and kinetic energy is highest in the middle of the swing. -- If you're not talking about a pendulum, then the preceding may be completely wrong.


What energy does pendulum have?

When the pendulum is at its highest point or amplitude, it has the highest potential energy. When it passes by its point of equilibriu, it has the highest kinetic energy.


What is the energy of a playground swing at its highest point?

As the swing moves, potential energy changes into kinetic energy. At the highest position all energy is gravitational potential energy as the swing has stopped at its highest position. Then the energy is converted back to kinetic energy, KE as it descends.


Who has the highest potential energy?

Whoever is the higher.


Where does the pendelum posses the highest potential energy?

At it's highest point where it begins to come back down. It has 0 kinetic energy, so that is when it has the most potential.


Can you have not potential energy and all kinetic energy?

Yes, a falling object has only potential energy at its highest point at rest. The same object will also have all kinetic energy and no potential energy the instant just before striking the ground at its highest velocity at ground level.
