The most suitable object to investigate how gravitational potential energy transforms into kinetic energy is a slide.

When an object or a person slides down a slide, it starts at a height (gravitational potential energy) and, as it descends, the potential energy converts into kinetic energy, allowing it to gain speed as it moves downwards.
