The mechanical energy is stored in the spring as potential energy within the pullback toy and when you release it, it gets converted into kinetic energy.
Hence cycle is
Mechanical --- Spring (Potential)--- Kinetic

Which describes the energy conversions used to make a car down the street?
Assuming it just rolls down a slope, without the engines working: gravitational potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy will eventually be converted to heat energy.
What happens when gravity pulls water down a slope?
The water runs down hill. That's why all rivers lead to the sea.
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.
What is the number of forces acting on an object sliding down an incline?
two, one is the resultant weight on the slope and = cosine (slope angle) * mass two is the force on the object and acts parralel to the the slope and = sin (slope angle) * mass

What does slope describe?
the change of rise over run. a positive slope goes up and a negative slope goes down
Which describe the energy conversion used to make a car go down the street?

How is riding a bike gravitational energy?
Rolling down a slope.
What move does the numerator of the slope describe?
rise
What happens to that energy after that skier races down the slope of the mountain?
It's because of kinetic energy
What is the term used to describe a dangerous snow slide down a mountain slope?
It is called an avalanche
How is a river potential energy changed into kinetic energy?
As gravity pulls water down a slope, the water's potential energy changes to kinetic energy that can do work.
What happens when gravitiy pulls water down a slope?
Both kinetic and potential energy vanish.
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.
What type of energy does a sled have as it slides down a hill?
While a sled slides down a hill, it has kinetic energy(Ek = 1/2mv2).At the top of the slope, while not moving, it would have possessed gravitational potential energy. As it moves down the slope, however, some energy is converted to heat and sound in accordance with the Law of the Conservation of Energy which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed but is converted from one form to another.
What is the two best describe types of landslide?
=1 A landslide is a mass of earth or rocks that slides down a slope==2=
Skiers are pulled up hill by a moving ski slope when they reach the top of the hill they ski down what type of energy do the skier gain as they go up hill?
Once the skiers go uphill by a cable car or lift, they gain potential energy. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy once the skiers start to ski down the slope.
