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.

What is main type of energy conversion that happens as a skier goes down a hill?

potential energy


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 happens to the roller coaster energy as it goes up a hill and never goes down?

never ? really the answer is that kinetic energy is changer to potential energy then when the laws of gravity and inertia come into play it is converted back into kinetic energy

When does the skier have the greatest potential energy?

Just standing there, a skier on the top of the mountain has potential energy. If she uses her poles to push-pull before taking off, she's building up a small amount of kinetic energy. If a skier is then moving down the mountain, his movement downward is kinetic energy which increases as his speed increases. If he or she collides with an immovable object while skiing, kinetic energy abruptly ends. If he or she takes off from the top of the mountain and an avalanche happens to hit at the same time, the kinetic energy of the avalanche engulfs the skier and overpowers the lower kinetic energy of the skier. The skier and avalanche become as if one in the kinetic force of the avalanche--until the skier collides with something or is buried, and thus is separated from the avalanche's kinetic energy which continues until the avalanche stops.

How is the temperature related to the energy?

It is a direct relationship. When temperature goes up, energy goes up. When temperature goes does, energy goes down.


Describe what happens to the potential energy of a ball rolling down a hill?

As the ball rolls down the hill, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases. This occurs as the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of motion. The ball gains speed as it goes down the hill due to this energy transformation.


Does the gravitational energy goes up or down when the roller coaster goes down its track?

It goes left


When the air transfers energy to a cooler object what happens to the air temperature?

The air temperature decreases as energy is transferred to the cooler object. This transfer of energy causes the air molecules to lose kinetic energy and slow down, resulting in a decrease in temperature.
