what are the various energy transformations that occur when you are riding a bicycle?
Answers
Answer:
The muscular energy of the cyclist is converted into kinetic energy (rotational) of the pedals of the bicycle which is transferred to its wheels. The kinetic energy of the rotation of the wheels is converted into the kinetic energy of the bicycle and the cyclist.
Explanation:
Answer:
Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy OR Kinetic Energy to Potential Energy to Kinetic energy
Explanation:
Lets suppose that you are riding on a flat surface then you suddenly remember that you had to go meet a friend. What do you do now ?
You ride your bike as fast as you can to get to your friend's place. What are the energy transformations here ?
Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
Now on the way you have to cross a small hill. What are the energy transformations here ?
Kinetic Energy to Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
I have attached down below pictures related to my answer.
