Potential energy to kinetic energy
The situation is similar as when an object falls. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (including rotational energy in this case); part of that kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.
it gains kinetic energy as the can rolls back to you.

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.

As a car rolls down a hill, the motion and gravitational potential energy(GPE) will be equal when the kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy.

Before it rolls downhill, it has gravitational potential energy. As it rolls downhill, part of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (including rotational energy); due to friction, this will soon be converted into waste energy, mainly heat.
