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.

Changes in energy when a child slides down a slide?
At the top of the slide, the child has a bunch of potential energy. Potential energy becomes converted to kinetic energy as the child accelerates down the slide. At the bottom of the slide, your science teacher will say that all potential energy is converted to kinetic.If your looking to be more technical, some kinetic energy will become heat along the length of the slide via friction. At the end of the slide, the child has to stop right? When the child lands on his feet, or face, the inelastic collision between his feet or face and the sand would produce more heat from kinetic energy. Then he will have neither potential nor kinetic energy, the heat he created would be dissipated into the air, sand, and slide as if everything is back to normal. But he might have some cuts and bruises if he did slide down face first.
