What else can I help you with?
Riding a bike down a hill is comparable to which type of process?
Turning potential energy into kinetic energy. As you ride down the hill the potential energy you stored in your mass on the way up is converted into kinetic energy. That's why you speed up as you go down a hill and also why it's harder to go uphill.
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
What happens to energy of the skier if he goes down a hill?
The potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy as they go down the hill due to gravity. This kinetic energy allows the skier to move faster and pick up speed.
When a skier goes up a hill and down a hill what energy is that?
The skier going up the hill gains potential energy due to its height increase, which is stored energy that can be released when the skier goes back down the hill. As the skier goes down the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
What kind of energy is it when you go up a hill?
when you are going up a hill by walking you are converting your potential energy into kinetic energy with every step and also storing more and more potential energy with every step if you stop after every step but if you are walking with a certain velocity you possess kinetic energy . At the top of the hill when you stop you possess maximum potential energy.

How does potential energy exist?
In electrical and nuclear energy for example, its stored in the particles, and in electrical as electrically charged particles. Also if you pick up something and hold it up, it has potential energy to fall to the ground because of the pull of gravity. Like when you go up in a rollercoaster, and just before you go down from going up, you know how you feel that pull down ?? that's potential energy by gravity.Its also used in batteries, how the energy is stored in molecules from chemical reactions.
Skiers are pulled up hill by a moving ski slope when they reach the top of the hill they ski down what type of energy do the skier gain as they go up hill?
Once the skiers go uphill by a cable car or lift, they gain potential energy. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy once the skiers start to ski down the slope.
What happens to energy of the skier if he goes down a hill?
The potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy as they go down the hill due to gravity. This kinetic energy allows the skier to move faster and pick up speed.
You jump down and the trampoline streches potential or kinetic energy?
When you jump down onto the trampoline, the initial potential energy from your height is converted into kinetic energy as you descend. When you bounce back up, the kinetic energy is then converted back into potential energy as you reach the top of the bounce.
When a skier goes up a hill and down a hill what energy is that?
The skier going up the hill gains potential energy due to its height increase, which is stored energy that can be released when the skier goes back down the hill. As the skier goes down the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
How does something turn from kinetic energy to potential energy?
kinetic energy is energy in motion. potential is like a roller coaster you start at the bottom and go up to highest point of the coaster and yougain potential energy as you move to the highest point of the coaster and when you go down the peak point the potential energy the coaster was gaining is transferred to kinetic energy.
How does a roller coater changes speed?
as the rollar coaster goes up the "hill" as far as it can go , it is considered. Once there it goes down hill and becomes kinetic energy. The roller coaster changes speeds because of the series of hills it goes up and falls down. At the top of the first lift hill (a), there is maximum potential energy because the train is as high as it gets. As the train starts down the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy -- the train speeds up. At the bottom of the hill (b), there is maximum kinetic energy and little potential energy. The kinetic energy propels the train up the second hill (c), building up the potential-energy level. As the train enters the loop-the-loop (d), it has a lot of kinetic energy and not much potential energy. The potential-energy level builds as the train speeds to the top of the loop (e), but it is soon converted back to kinetic energy as the train leaves the loop.
How can Potential energy and Kinetic energy be observed in your everyday world?
when a car drive up a hill it gains potential energy and when it comes down the hill it gains kinetic energy.
When does the amount of gravitational potential change?
When you go up or down.
How does a yo yo transfer potential energy to kinetic energy and back again as it moves up and down its string?
Before a yo yo is released, it has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. As the yo yo goes down the string, its kinetic energy increases and it potential energy decreases. When the yo yo reaches the bottom of the string it has maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy. As the yo yo goes back up the string, its kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases until the yo yo reaches the top of the string, at which point kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is at its maximum.
