When you roll down a hill is that mechanical energy?
No, It is kinetic energy
What type of energy destroys other energies?
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is converted to other forms of energy. There is potential energy and kinetic energy. Sitting on your bicycle on top of the hill you have no kinetic energy, only potential energy. When you ride down the hill, the potential energy is used up (you go down the hill) and it converts to kinetic energy (speed). "What happens when you stop at the bottom of the hill - wasn't the potential and kinetic energy destroyed?" No. All the potential energy was converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy was converted to heat through the wind resistance. So, if you had an extremely accurate thermometer, you would see the air and bicycle temperature rise as you went down the hill.
Is cycling kinetic or potential energy?
It is kinetic energy. Whether or not it is potential energy depends on whether the cycle is on top of a hill or down in a valley.
Riding a bike down a hill is comparable to which type of process?
Turning potential energy into kinetic energy. As you ride down the hill the potential energy you stored in your mass on the way up is converted into kinetic energy. That's why you speed up as you go down a hill and also why it's harder to go uphill.
When a ball rolls down a hill what wasted energy conversion occurs?
Potential energy to kinetic energy
A roller coaster going down the first hill is an example of what type of energy?
It is kinetic energy because it is in motion.Jesus loves you! A car rolling down a hill is an example of which type of energy?kinetic...Potential energy
Is rolling down a hill potential or kinetic energy?
Yes, because potential energy is energy stored but kinetic is energy in motion.
Why is a rock on the top of a hill kinetic energy?
A rock on top of a hill has potential energy, not kinetic energy. If it starts rolling down the hill then the potential energy transforms to kinetic energy.
Can a object have both potential energy and kinetic energy at the same time?
Imagine you're on a roller coaster. Now imagine that you have already gone down the first hill. now a second smaller hill is coming up. When you are at the top of the hill you have kinetic energy going forward. But you also have potential energy going down because gravity is still trying to push you down.
When you roll down a hill is that mechanical energy?
No, It is kinetic energy
What is an example of kenetic energy?
A real life example of kinetic energy is something........ Sike!!!!!! A ball rolling down a hill, A person typing on a keyboard.
Is rolling down a grassy hill potential or kinetic energy?
The act of rolling is showing kinetic energy because it is movement, but we should always look at energy change. As you go down hill, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
How can Potential energy and Kinetic energy be observed in your everyday world?
when a car drive up a hill it gains potential energy and when it comes down the hill it gains kinetic energy.
WHAT IS THE ENERGY CONVERSION OF MOVING DOWNWARD WITH A ROLLER SKATE ON A SLOPE?
From a stand still, going down a hill on skates you are converting potential energy into kinetic energy.
A car rolling down the hill is an example of?
Kinetic energy.
What kind of energy keeps the roller coaster down the hill?
Kinetic energy
What happens to gravitational potential energy as a roller coaster moves down hill?
Yes. As the car goes down the hill, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases. However, not all of the potential energy becomes kinetic energy. Some of it is lost to heat and sound energy.
