A boy on a bicycle is resting at the top of a hill. Then, he rides his bicycle down the hill. Describe how the boy’s potential and kinetic energy differ at the top, middle, and bottom of the hill.?
At the top of the hill, the boy has high potential energy due to his elevated position. As he rides down, his potential energy decreases and his kinetic energy increases, reaching its maximum at the bottom of the hill. At the bottom, his potential energy is low, while his kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion, is highest.
A bicycle rider is traveling up a hill. When the rider reaches the top of the hill, she stops to rest.then she travels down the hill. Which one describes it?
When the rider is at the top of the hill, her potential energy is the greatest, and her kinetic energy is the least.
Energy stored in a bicycle at the top of a hill?
The energy stored in a bicycle at the top of a hill is potential energy, which is due to its position relative to the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the bike descends the hill and gains speed.
Is a bicycle rolling down a hill friction?
Yes, as the bicycle rolls down the hill, there is still some friction present between the wheels and the surface of the hill. This friction helps to slow down the bicycle's descent and eventually bring it to a stop.
On a 10 second very steep hill bicycle which energy pathway does your body use?
By Anaerobic pathway of glucose break down.(Glycolysis.)
What type of energy destroys other energies?
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is converted to other forms of energy. There is potential energy and kinetic energy. Sitting on your bicycle on top of the hill you have no kinetic energy, only potential energy. When you ride down the hill, the potential energy is used up (you go down the hill) and it converts to kinetic energy (speed). "What happens when you stop at the bottom of the hill - wasn't the potential and kinetic energy destroyed?" No. All the potential energy was converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy was converted to heat through the wind resistance. So, if you had an extremely accurate thermometer, you would see the air and bicycle temperature rise as you went down the hill.
What causes a bicycle to speed up going down hill?
gravityGRAVITY
What type of energy is sledding down a hill?
The energy associated with sledding down a hill is primarily kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. As the sled moves down the hill, the potential energy stored in the sled due to its position on the hill is converted into kinetic energy as it gains speed.
Why does a bicycle speed up as it rolls down hill?
As a bicycle rolls downhill, the force of gravity pulls it downward, converting potential energy to kinetic energy, causing it to accelerate. The increase in speed is a result of the gravitational force overcoming the resistance from friction and air resistance.
When a skier goes up a hill and down a hill what energy is that?
The skier going up the hill gains potential energy due to its height increase, which is stored energy that can be released when the skier goes back down the hill. As the skier goes down the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
Why do the brake pads on a bicycle become warm when you ride down a hill?
friction
What kind of energy does a bicyclist have when riding down hill?
A bicyclist riding downhill has kinetic energy, which is the energy associated with motion. As the cyclist descends, the potential energy from being at a higher elevation is converted to kinetic energy due to the increased speed of the bicycle.
