Where does the kinetic energy come from when you roll down a hill without making any effort?

The energy is from the force of gravity pushing the object down the hill, without gravity the object would not fall. The object would remain in place until acted upon by an outside force.

What is an example of chemical energy changing into kinetic energy?
A battery making or giving something a charge to make it move
Is Kinetic energy a solid liquid or gas?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Heat is a form of kinetic energy (the movement of individual atoms or molecules) so the liquid phase contains more kinetic energy than the solid and the gas phase has more kinetic energy than the liquid phase. However, kinetic energy can also be imparted to a mass as a whole in which case if the total mass of the phases was constant the this imparted kinetic energy would be the same for all phases.
When you rub your hands together what kinds of energy are you making?
you are changing the kinetic energy from your muscles into heat energy by the property of friction
How does the law of conservation of energy relate to a bow and?
I think you mean bow and arrow. In this case, when you pull back an arrow on a bow, you apply kinetic energy (the energy of motion) to the bow and arrow to give it potential energy (energy that can be turned into kinetic energy at a later time). Anyway, the laws of conservation of energy state that energy cannot be created or destroyed; therefore all energy in the world is only changed to other different forms. As I said above, your kinetic energy (coming from your body) applied action to the bow and arrow, making the kinetic energy change into potential energy. Of course, when you let go of the arrow, the potential energy changes back into kinetic energy, allowing to arrow to fly off.
What type of energy is a rolling ball?
Well, right before you are about to push it or while it is sitting at the top of a hill, the ball has potential energy. This means the ball has to potential to move or roll. This can be seen as a roller coaster at the tallest point of the ride. Then, while it begins to roll, the ball has kinetic energy while it moves until the forces of gravity and friction are able to stop its kinetic energy.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of kinetic energy?
The advantages of kinetic energy is its abundant energy source and it can be created easily. However, its chief disadvantage is its difficulty to be controlled making it an unpredictable energy.
Where does the energy from solar wind hydroelectric sources originally come from?
As you will know energy can not be created. Only transferred from one thing from another. Solar energy captures energy from the sun. Wind energy gets it from the kinetic energy making it move. And hydro electric also gets from kinetic energy. But kinetic energy from the movement of the waves.

Can kinetic energy become potential energy?
Energy is never created or destroyed, but different forms of energy can be converted into another. For example, potential energy is the energy of position; a pendulum at the peak of its swing, or a spring tightly compressed. It can be converted into kinetic energy, for example, the pendulum swinging rapidly at the bottom of the swing, or the object propelled by the spring.
What kind of energy a piano has?
if the musical bits are vibrating under simple harmonic motion, then they will be undergoing a transfer of potential and kinetic energy, as they vibrate.

What causes melting and boiling in terms of the kinetic molecular theory?
The kinetic theory states that when a solid is heated the bonds between the particles are loosened thus making it a liquid.

How do you use toast and kinetic in the same sentence?
The kinetic energy from the toaster's springs can sometimes toss the toast out.When making a toast, don't clink fancy wine glasses too forcefully, since they cannot handle the same kinetic energy that other glasses can.(In a Jewish wedding, the glass is doomed anyway.)
