Potential energy of any body depends on mass and height of the body (as P.E=mgh)if the distance is same then rock will have more P.E

Does a rock have potential and kinetic energy as it hits the ground?
When a ball is about to fall it has potential energy because of its height.When a ball is about to hit the ground it still has some potential energy since it has't hit the ground yet, but much less than it had when it started falling.
Examples of potential energy?
unlit match a rock held in your hand.
Is a rock potential or kinetic energy?
It has potential energy but when it is in movement it will possess kinetic 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.
Does a rock at the edge of a 200m high cliff has more potential energy than an equal sized rock at the edge of a 600m high cliff?
The higher rock has more potential energy

Does a rock have potential energy?
Yes rocks do have potential energy. Potential energy is defined as energy stored within a physical system. It is called potential because it has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy which can do work in the process. This means that a rock can have potential energy as simple as, a rock held at an elevation. If dropped it's potential energy is then being converted to kinetic energy.
What happens to potential energy when a rock drops from your hand?
When the ball falls down, the potential energy decreases (potential energy is greater at a greater height), but the kinetic energy (energy due to movement) will increase.
When a ball stops moving does it lose its energy?
It loses it's kinetic energy, the energy of motion. If it were logded against a rock on a hill, it has potential energy stored because of it's position on the hill.
Examples of potential energy?
unlit match a rock held in your hand.
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is?
Potential energy
What type of energy is stored in a rock?
Potential energy.
What type of potential energy does a rock perched on the edge of a cliff have?
A rock at the edge of a cliff has potential energy. This energy may be converted to kinetic energy by the force of gravity if it falls off the cliff.
Is a rock potential or kinetic energy?
It has potential energy but when it is in movement it will possess kinetic 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.
Is potential energy the same as energy being conserved?
Not really... Kinda? Potential energy is the total possible energy based on position. Ex: A rock on the floor will have less potential energy (since it's on the floor and it wont have energy since it's not moving), than a rock 100 meters in the air. (More potential energy since it will falling). Or a rubber band being pulled back has more potential energy than when its not pulled. Conserve means to save/store, and things cant really "store" energy.
What type of energy is a rock resting on hill?
Potential Energy
