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.

Is it better to go up hills or down them when exercising?

Up hill. It builds energy, and strenth. Going down hill doesnt do much


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.


You eat a large meal and then hike up a hill. What kind of energy transformation is your body performing?

chemical energy to kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy!!!!! I hope this helps :D


What type of energy do you gain as you cycle up a hill?

You gain Potential Energy as you cycle up a hill.


Is the Forbidden Hill allowed Malays to go up the hill?

No,they can't go up the hill.


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 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.


Why do you think that the first hill on the roller coaster must be the tallest Explain in kinetic and potential terms?

When the cars go up the first hill, energy is put into the system through some machine (what pulls the cars up). From here on out, there are usually no more additions in energy to the system. Thus, at the top of the first hill, the cars have the highest potential energy. As the cars move down the first hill and up the second, some of the energy is lost through the heat given off by friction. So, the total energy of the system goes down. This means that, after each hill, the cars will have less energy and cannot go up a hill the same height as the first. Since the cars lose kinetic energy through friction, each hill must be smaller than the last until the ride ends or another booster puts more energy into the system.


Is a bicyclist pedaling up a hill Kinetic energy?

Yes, a bicyclist pedaling up a hill is demonstrating kinetic energy. As the cyclist pedals, they are converting chemical energy stored in their muscles into mechanical energy, moving both themselves and the bicycle up the hill. This mechanical energy is a form of 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.
