potential energy can be that of as a man holding a rock in the air when he lets the rock go it turns to kinetic energy in this sense potential energy would reach its peak at the highest atmosphere achievable while still affected by earths gravity or in a slingshot the farthest u can pull the cord w/o its breaking

∙ 12y agoPotential energy is at its greatest when kinetic energy is at its lowest - normally.
This is a question that should be asked in relation to something (probably). As in - the potential energy of two hydrogen atoms is greatest when: their internuclear distances are very, very close to 0 (more energy as the bond breaks...) (plus, this means the energy is being absorbed... not released - negative kinetic energy). Pendulums - greatest potential energy when it's the highest up... not when it's used all that energy falling.
(Hope that helps.)

Where is the potential energy of the box the greatest on the incline?
the box when it is inclined will have greatest potential energy on the top corners only.
Type of energy that is greatest at the bottom of a swings's path?
Kinetic Energy, the potential energy is greatest at the top of the swing's path! :)
When does a falling object have the greatest energy?
A falling object has the greatest potential energy when it is highest, at the beginning of the fall. It has the greatest kinetic energy when it is at its lowest, at the end of the fall. Without taking friction or air resistance into account, the beginning potential energy is the same as the final kinetic energy. If friction is considered, the beginning potential energy is greater.
Where in the body is the greatest storage of potential energy?
muscles
What state of matter has the greatest amount of potential energy?
gas
Where will you locate on a pendulum or roller coaster the greatest potential and greatest kinetic energy?
On a pendulum, the greatest potential energy is at the highest point of the swing on either side, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the swing. On a roller coaster, the greatest potential energy is at the top of a hill, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the hill.

At which point does he have the most gravitational potential energy?
It isn't clear what you mean with "he", but an object's gravitational potential energy is greatest at its highest position.
When is the potential energy of a pendulum at its greatest?
The highest point of the pendulums swing is when the potential energy is at its highest and the kinetic energy is at its lowest. Kinetic energy is at its highest when at the lowest point of its swing, or equilibrium position, this is when the potential energy is at zero.
When a ball is hit by a player at what point in its motion is the potential energy of the ball at a maximum?
the potential energy will be the greatest when the ball is at its highest point in the aire
Where is the potential energy of the greatest on a roller coaster?
It is when the car is at its highest point.
What would have the most potential energy?
Potential energy is the amount of energy stored in an object due to its height. This is maximum for an object which has maximum height and vice versa. So the most potential energy would be for object with greatest height.
