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.

What energy is at the top of a slide?

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.

What is a safe speed for a child on a slide?

Safe Slide SpeedI would say go with a slide that is the proper size for your child to be able to control the speed of the slide. Any child under 8 should not use one of the slides that are bigger than five foot. Talk with your child's doctor for more advice. There are toddler slides for toddlers now, I think.

What energy transformation taking place child on the slide?

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.
