A sled is pulled up to the top of a hill. The sled starts from rest and travels down the hill. At the bottom of the hill, the sled has a kinetic energy, KE. The sled is pulled up a steeper hill (greater incline angle) with the same height as the first hill. How does the kinetic of the sled at the bottom of the first hill compare to its kinetic energy at the bottom of the second hill? Could you explain in detail? Thanks.     (A) The KE is greater at the bottom of the second hill.       (B) The KE is greater at the bottom of the first hill.       (C) The KE is the same at the bottom of both hills.
