What energy transformations occur in a bike going up and down a hill?

My mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Are power showers energy efficient?

Power showers are more energy efficient in most cases. In a power shower, only a pump is used to pump hot water from a boiler to the shower head as opposed to an electric shower, which has to heat up the water first before being used. Electric showers therefore are not as energy efficient as power showers.


Is energy recycled or does it get used up?

Energy is never used up - it is always turned into another form of energy, or 'recycled'. Energy can neither be created or destroyed.


What is the mechanical energy of the kinetic energy and potential energy?

Potential energy is the energy stored into something because of its height or its position. When you freewheel on your bike down a hill you are regaining the energy that you put into the bike and your own body as you cycled or walked your bike to the top of the hill.The spinning flywheel of an engine releases the kinetic energy which was put into it to speed it up, from the burning of fuel in its cylinders. The fuel contains chemical energy which is released when it burns.I have not heard of a mechanical type of energy, but it could be the energy which is put into a machine or the energy which the machine can provide.Other forms of energy are chemical energy (explosion), light energy (headlights), sound energy (radio), energy from the movement of air (windmills) or the movement of water (water wheels).


Can energy be used up?

yea

Can you use the air pump at the gas station to fill up a bike tire?

Yes, but you may need a special adapter to connect the air pump at the gas station to your bike tire. Many manual hand bike pumps are also available which can be used to inflate your bike tires.

Food.


Is kinetic energy energy stored in a bicycle at the top of a hill?

No. On top of the hill the bike would have potential energy. If released, by letting the bike roll downhill, it'd turn into kinetic energy as the bike picks up speed.


When energy conversions when ride a bicycle up and down the hill?

chemical energy from food the rider has eaten gets turne into kinetic energy as the bike is moving. Then into potential energy as the bike heads uphill. As the bike heads down potential energy turns into kinetic energy.

The energy given up by electrons as they move through the electron transport chain is used to?

A good portion of the energy from the electron movement is used to pump H+ across a gradient.

Describe the energy transformations that occur when a person pushes a bike to the top of a hill and coasts down?

First it's chemical energy from eaten food that turns into heat, a little bit of kinetic energy and potential energy(pushing the bike uphill). Then it's potential energy turning into kinetic energy and a little bit of heat, along with some further chemical energy being used up.(coasting down)

How would you convert kinetic energy from your bicycle into electrical energy to charge batteries?

You'd need to hook the bike up to a generator.


Is chemical energy used up when the battery energy is used up?

Yes.
