yes, that is correct, the potential energy is changed to kinetic or "motion" energy when you move up the rope.

Where on a roller coaster does energy transform?
As it starts to climb the lift hill, the electrical energy builds potential energy. On its way down the first drop, the cars gain kinetic energy (energy of motion) and lose potential energy (stored energy). When it goes up the next hill, the potential energy increases and kinetic decreases, evident in the cars slowing down. Potential is greatest at the top of the highest hill. Along the way, more energy is lost in friction and sound energy.
When you stop at the top after climbing stairs have you gained kinetic energy?
You would not have gained kinetic energy if you were stopped because kinetic energy is energy of motion. However, there is always more than one way to look at a problem...If you climb to the top step you will be further (slightly) from the center of the earth. Being further away you will travel faster than you would nearer to the center because the earth rotates about its axis. You will travel a longer path during the same period of rotation. This presumes the steps that you are climbing are not located at either the north or south pole.You can look at the answer from a physiological perspective, too. If you just finished climbing the stairs, your heart will be pumping blood faster so, while not all of you is moving faster, at least part of you is.
When does an object have the same potential and kinetic energy?
When it is not moving or think of it like this when you climb a cliff when your on the top you have potential energy but as you climb down you are starting the state of kenetic energy. Therefor potential energy is when you are not moving. Or when energy is stored.
Where does kinetic energy go after it is used?
If you're suggesting something like an auto accident, the energy of the collision is used to deform materials in the structural elements of the vehicle(s). It also heats them. The primary design features of cars includes a lot of thought to where the energy of a collision can go. Bumpers collapse, body panels and their strengthening members fold and become compressed, and a top or roof can collapse down. All this sinks ("sucks up") energy. And if it all works in an optimal way, you can climb out and walk away.
How does air density change throughout the atmosphere?
Air density is higher near the surface of the Earth. As you climb away from the surface, the pressure decreases.
When you climb a rope you change what energy into what energy?
you change potential energy into kinetic energy.
When you climb up the stairs what is the energy transformation?
chemical energy (stored in the muscles of the body) turns to kinetic energy (climbing up the stairs) and then is transformed to potential energy (once you reach the top of the stairs) due to your position.

What type of energy used to climb up a staircase?
Kinetic energy which is movement energy.
What is gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field. The higher an object is the greater its gravitational potential. When it falls the gravitational potential becomes kinetic energy. Energy stored in height differences ~APEX
How much energy is needed in Joules for a 90 kg woman was to climb a ladder 6 meters in height?
The energy needed for a woman to climb a ladder is given by the change in potential energy she experiences. Defining the ground as being zero potential energy, her overall change in potential energy isEp = mghwhere Ep is the change potential energy, m is her mass, g is the gravitational acceleration (9.8m/s2 on earth) and h is the height she climbs.Ep = (90kg)(9.8m/s2)(6m) = 5292kg*m2/s2 or 5292 Joules
When a rubber band is stretched it has what kind of energy?
Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
How can you get energy?
There is a lot of energy that can be harnessed to make electricity by using propellers, fans and windmills to power generators. These devices can use the flow of water and air turn the generators.That is converting one form of kinetic energy to another. You can also store kinetic energy as potential energy. If you lift an heavy rock up to a higher level above the ground, you produce a potential source of energy. When you carry the rock up a 300 foot cliff you could convert your effort of the climb into kinetic energy by dropping it on something, or convert it to electricity. Attach the rock to a rope and drop it off the cliff. If the rope is attached to spindle that rotates a gear that rotates an electrical generator, and that electricity is stored in a battery, it becomes potential energy again.There are many ways to get energy.
What is gravitational energy-?
Gravitational potential energy is the kinetic energy that an object could gain if it was allowed to move through the entire gravitational potential in question. For example, if you climb a tower that is 100 feet above the Earth's surface and hold a ball, the ball will have potential energy as long as it remains at that height (in other words, as long as it remains at that potential). If the ball is dropped, the potential energy begins converting into kinetic as the ball falls through the 100 foot gravitational potential. When the ball is on the surface of the Earth, it no longer has any gravitational potential energy with respect to the Earth's surface. All of the energy converted into kinetic energy. When the ball actually hit the Earth, the kinetic energy was converted into heat and the ball stopped moving. That heat warmed the surrounding atmosphere a bit. No energy is ever lost, it just converts from one form to another.
What is the effect of an object's height on its potential energy?
The potential energy you mentioned is known as gravitational potential energy, which involves gravity. Gravity is a wonderful mechanism which acts like a rubberband. Let say the object is you riding a bicycle. To climb a hill, you need to input your kinetic energy which is to pedal hardly to increase your altitude(height). When you are at the top of the hill(summit), you have the greatest gravitational potential energy. What is the difference between you at the bottom of the hill and you at the top of the hill? The you at the summit has stored more energy in your mass, which can be converted only into kinetic energy when you roll down the hill.
What energy is used as you climb up the slide?
Mechanical energy, because you are moving. Also your potential energy gains, as you go up higher
How is potential energy delivered to you?
-- eat food -- climb a flight of stairs -- spend some time in the sunshine
