When a car is coasting downhill, the kinetic and potential energies are increasing and decreasing respectively.
<h3>What are kinetic and potential energy?</h3>
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion, equal to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed.
Potential energy, on the other hand, is the energy possessed by an object because of its position (in a gravitational or electric field), or its condition (as a stretched or compressed spring, as a chemical reactant, or by having rest mass).
According to this question, a car going downhill will begin to speed because there is lesser friction. This suggests that the kinetic energy increases while the potential energy decreases.

If the sign of work is negative, that means the force and the motion are in opposite directions.
Let's say you see something roll off of the shelf. You catch it, and you let it down slowly and gently.
Gravity exerted down-force on it and it moved down. Gravity did positive work on it.
YOU exerted UP-force on it and it moved down. YOU did negative work on it.
(Also, the falling object exerted down-force on your hand, and your hand moved down. The falling object did positive work on your hand ! Where did THAT energy come from ? It came from the potential energy that the object had while it was on the shelf. Your hand absorbed that energy on the way down, doing negative work. So the object didn't have any kinetic energy when it reached the floor, and it did NOT splinter the floor or shatter in smithereens. It had barely enough energy left to make a sound when it hit the floor.)
Its Displacement and Time for sure.
