Alana summarized what happens when a ball sitting on top of a grassy hill rolls down the hill.

The motionless ball has potential energy. Once the ball starts to roll down the hill, new kinetic energy is made. As the ball rolls across the grass, it slows down. The kinetic energy of the ball is converted to other forms of energy.

Which best describes Alana’s error?
