The energy associated with sledding down a hill is primarily kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. As the sled moves down the hill, the potential energy stored in the sled due to its position on the hill is converted into kinetic energy as it gains speed.
Kinetic energy.
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.
The car is losing kinetic energy as it climbs the hill. This kinetic energy is being transferred into potential energy due to the increasing height gained during the climb.
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is converted to other forms of energy. There is potential energy and kinetic energy. Sitting on your bicycle on top of the hill you have no kinetic energy, only potential energy. When you ride down the hill, the potential energy is used up (you go down the hill) and it converts to kinetic energy (speed). "What happens when you stop at the bottom of the hill - wasn't the potential and kinetic energy destroyed?" No. All the potential energy was converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy was converted to heat through the wind resistance. So, if you had an extremely accurate thermometer, you would see the air and bicycle temperature rise as you went down the hill.
You gain Potential Energy as you cycle up a hill.
It is kinetic energy because it is in motion.Jesus loves you! A car rolling down a hill is an example of which type of energy?kinetic...Potential energy
Kinetic energy.
Potential energy is the energy of gravity.

Potential energy is used to get the roller coaster car up the first hill. The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the car goes down the hill. The potential energy is typically provided by a motor or chain lift system.
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.

While a sled slides down a hill, it has kinetic energy(Ek = 1/2mv2).At the top of the slope, while not moving, it would have possessed gravitational potential energy. As it moves down the slope, however, some energy is converted to heat and sound in accordance with the Law of the Conservation of Energy which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed but is converted from one form to another.
