Gravitational potential energy is the potential to fall; an object will lose all of its gravitational potential energy as soon as it starts to fall (Herrmann-Abell & DeBoer, 2010; Loverude, 2004).

Items that test for misconception EGM044 in this project (Original Project) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen	Select This Item for My Item Bank
NG015003	As a ball rolls down a ramp, the gravitational potential energy of the ball decreases and the motion energy of the ball increases because gravitational potential energy is transformed into motion energy.	25%
NG004003	Gravitational potential energy is transformed into motion energy as a rock falls from a cliff.	12%
