Question:
How is the energy of a rock sitting on the top of a
hill different the energy of rock sitting at the bottom of the same hill?
Replies:
There is no difference in the energy of the rock at the top of the
hill and the energy of the rock at the bottom of the hill. There is
a difference in the energy stored in the gravitational field, but not the rock.
