Solution

The energy conversion taking place when the rock is pushed over the edge and begins to fall is potential to kinetic.

Here's why:

  1. The rock initially has potential energy when it is at the edge because it has the potential to do work due to its position.

  2. When the rock is pushed and starts falling, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.

So, the correct answer is "potential to kinetic".
