same you could slip on the skateboard and knock over the dresser and the sock could fall in your mouth and suffocate you.

The potential energy is 147 joules.
This box has potential energy of 98 Joules.
The potential energy starts decreasing. It gets converted into kinetic energy.
The same amount of potential energy again.
The one that is at the greatest height above the floor level.
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.
Kinetic energy is energy. It can be transformed to other types of energy. And as energy it can be applied to do work. If an elastic ball is dropped from a given height, it will develop kinetic energy at the expense of its potential energy. An instant before collision with the floor, its kinetic energy amounts to the original potential energy of the ball with respect to the floor. (if we can neglect air resistance).
Just about as much as it had potential energy before it started falling - since most of the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. The exact amount depends from how high it falls.
kinetic and potential energy.
A roller coaster has more potential energy at the bottom. There are 2 types of energy, potential and kinetic. energy closer to a surface or floor is potential energy and objects in the middle of it all has kinetic energy.
As the clay falls it has kinetic energy
