Some examples of gravitational potential energy include a pendulum at its highest point, a book placed on a shelf, a rock at the edge of a cliff, and water stored in a dam.
The rock perched on the edge of a cliff has gravitational potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy is stored in the rock as a result of its vertical distance from the ground and can be converted into kinetic energy if the rock falls off the cliff.
The energy caused when a rock falls off a cliff is primarily gravitational potential energy being converted to kinetic energy as the rock accelerates towards the ground. This kinetic energy increases as the rock falls, and upon impact, some of it is converted into sound and heat energy due to the collision.
Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as a person falls from a building. As the person falls, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases due to the acceleration of gravity.

Yes, gravitational force is acting on both the person falling off a cliff and the astronaut inside an orbiting space shuttle. The person falling off a cliff experiences a gravitational pull towards the center of the Earth, causing them to accelerate downwards. The astronaut inside an orbiting space shuttle experiences a gravitational pull towards the Earth as well, but their motion is primarily governed by their speed and centripetal force that keeps them in orbit.

Niagara Falls --- IS --- a cliff.... that's what makes a waterfall. A waterfall is a place where water flows over the edge of a cliff.
Yes you can cliff jump at Victoria Falls. One adventure operator who offers that is Shearwater Victoria Falls.

When a leaf falls from a tree, the force acting on it is primarily gravity. As the leaf is no longer attached to the tree, the only force acting on it is the gravitational force pulling it down towards the Earth.
the ocean cliff is actually cavern falls
a leaf hanging on a tree
True. The overall net force acting on a falling leaf is due to the gravitational force pulling it downward and the air resistance pushing against it as the leaf falls through the air.
