a falling rock converts its into as it drops.
kinetic energy damage collision friction deformation potential energy peak force contact force
breaking point

Explanation:

When a rock is at a height, it has potential energy (stored energy due to its position). As it falls, its height decreases and its speed increases. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. According to the law of conservation of energy (in an ideal situation with no air resistance etc.), the potential energy of the rock is converted into kinetic energy as it drops.

Answer:

A falling rock converts its potential energy into kinetic energy as it drops.
