Explanation:

1. Kinetic energy is energy of motion. So for "energy due to an object's motion", the answer is kinetic energy.
2. Gravitational potential energy is stored - energy due to position.
3. Elastic potential energy is stored energy due to shape.
4. Gravitational potential energy depends on mass and height above ground ($U = mgh$).
5. Kinetic energy formula is $K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$, so increasing mass increases kinetic energy.
6. Gravitational potential energy is $U = mgh$, a truck at the top of a hill has high mass and height.
7. A rubber - band sitting on a table has least elastic potential energy as it is not stretched much.
8. A football has highest kinetic energy just before it hits the ground as it has maximum speed.
9. For a roller - coaster, highest potential energy is at the highest point (Location C).
10. Lowest potential energy is at the lowest point (Location A).
11. Highest kinetic energy is at the lowest point (Location D) where speed is maximum.
12. Lowest kinetic energy is at the highest point (Location E) where speed is minimum.
