: When an [[object]] travels upwards the [[Gravitational Potential Energy Store|gravitational potential energy store]] increases.
The following are examples of '''energy transfers''' into the [[Gravitational Potential Energy Store|gravitational potential energy store]]:
*A ball starts moving in motion but eventually stops rising - comes to rest at its maximum height.[[Kinetic Energy Store]] of the ball → [[Gravitational Potential Energy Store]]of the ball.*A bullet is fired upwards and comes to rest at its maximum height.[[Chemical Potential Energy Store]] of the gunpowder → [[Gravitational Potential Store]] of the bullet.*An [[arrow]] is fired upwards and comes to rest at its maximum height.[[Elastic Potential Energy Store]] of the bow → [[Gravitational Potential Energy Store]] of the arrow.
