A sledder effortlessly glides from position A across the snow to position B (as shown in the diagram at the right). Resistance forces are negligible. At position B, the kinetic energy of the sledder is Joules and the total mechanical energy is Joules. In moving from position A to position B, the sledder lost J of potential energy and gained J of kinetic energy.
