How do kinetic and potential energy change as the car rolls down the hill?

As the car rolls down the hill, its potential energy decreases as it loses height due to gravity pulling it downwards. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, resulting in an increase in the car's speed as its kinetic energy increases. At the bottom of the hill, most of the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when the car is moving at its maximum speed.


Which car has the most kinetic energy?

A car traveling at a higher speed will have more kinetic energy than a car moving at a slower speed. So, the car with the most kinetic energy would be the one traveling at the highest speed.

When i changed the battery on Mitsubishi galant the why does radio asks for a pass-code?

It is part of the security on the car, if someone pulled the radio they could never get it to work. When the car loses power, it resets. The code is in your owner's manual for your car.
