If an object falls down, potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy (energy of movement). However, if an object drifts down slowly - say, a feather falling in air, or an object that falls down in water - the energy will be immediately converted to heat energy.

What kind of energy does water at the top of a dam?

Potential.


Why the temperature did not change although heat was added to it when the potential energy of the molecules increases?

Precisely because the heat energy that was added was used up elsewhere. Temperature is a kind of kinetic energy; a change of phase (like, from solid to liquid) is a kind of potential energy.Precisely because the heat energy that was added was used up elsewhere.

What is the energy stored in an object that is not moving?

Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object, and can be changed into kinetic, or other forms of energy. There are many types, such as Elastic Potential Energy and Gravitational Potential Energy.


What kind of form of energy is the change of position?

If the change of position is horizontal, then there's no energy involved. If it's a vertical change, then gravitational potential energy changes.
