Is kinetic energy energy stored in a bicycle at the top of a hill?

No.
On top of the hill the bike would have potential energy. If released, by letting the bike roll downhill, it'd turn into kinetic energy as the bike picks up speed.

Energy stored in a bicycle at the top of a hill?
That is potential energy.
Is rolling down a hill potential or kinetic energy?
Yes, because potential energy is energy stored but kinetic is energy in motion.
A boy on a bicycle is resting at the top of a hill. Then, he rides his bicycle down the hill. Describe how the boy’s potential and kinetic energy differ at the top, middle, and bottom of the hill.?
idk
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 a bicycle coasting on a level sidewalk potential or kinetic energy?
kinetic because it is using force. it would be potential if it was at the top of a hill.
A bicycle rider is traveling up a hill. When the rider reaches the top of the hill, she stops to rest.then she travels down the hill. Which one describes it?
When the rider is at the top of the hill, her potential energy is the greatest, and her kinetic energy is the least.
When a ball stops moving does it lose its energy?
It loses it's kinetic energy, the energy of motion. If it were logded against a rock on a hill, it has potential energy stored because of it's position on the hill.
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.
What type of energy exists in a ball sitting on top of a hill?
kinetic energy
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.
Does a stepper hill have more kinetic energy?
i think a stepper hill has more kinetic energy
What type of energy conversion is happening when a bicycle is being push up hill?
Chemical energy from food eaten by the rider gets turned into potential energy, and a a little bit of kinetic energy.
