If the slide has no friction, then at the bottom of the slide. If it does then it's when the child is going the fastest.
As the child goes down the slide, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. The potential energy from the child's height is gradually transformed into motion as they slide down. Frictional forces and air resistance may also play a role in dissipating some of this energy as heat.
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.
There is also mechanical energy in this because a child resting on a slide is potentieal but also kinetic when she goes down the slide use this equation KE + PE = ME mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potentieal the amount depends probably in the middle half of 900 yes that is the answer simple physics hope that helped!
True. As you start sliding down a slide, your potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
When someone climbs up a slide, the conversion of chemical energy from their food into kinetic energy allows them to move and climb. Additionally, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as they gain height and then slide down. Frictional forces also convert some kinetic energy into heat energy during the process.
At the top of a slide, potential energy is most prevalent. This potential energy is accumulated as a result of the height of the slide and can be converted into kinetic energy as the object slides down.
The energy transformation going down a slide involves potential energy being converted to kinetic energy. As you move from the top of the slide, where you have more potential energy due to your height, to the bottom where you have more kinetic energy due to your moving speed, energy is being transformed from one form to another.
The potential energy he lost on the descent = M g H = (21.2) (9.8) (3.5) = 727.16 joulesThe kinetic energy he had at the bottom = 1/2 M V2 = (0.5) (21.2) (2.1)2 = 46.746 joulesThe missing energy = (727.16 - 46.746) = 680.414 joules caused heating of the slide and the kid's pants.
Mechanical energy, because you are moving. Also your potential energy gains, as you go up higher
In a liquid, the molecules have enough kinetic energy to move freely over each other.
Potential energy. Potential energy is energy due to position of an object. So as he goes down the slide the potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy until he reaches the bottom.
potential energy- stored energy kinetic energy- moving energy if a person slides down a slide is called potenial energy to kinetic energy if someone goes up an escalator is called kinetic energy to potential energy potential energy in other words is called the reaching a higher point kinetic energy in other words is called the reaching a lower point
