Kinetic energy is exerted from the human's legs especially the thighs, through their feet onto the pedals. This moves the chain which acts on the axle to turn the back wheel. Continual pumping of kinetic energy through the striated leg muscles and through the the knee joint keeps the axle moving. When not receiving kinetic energy, such as during coasting, the axle continues to turn the wheel through its rotations. Theoretically, on a flat surface or uphill, all the kinetic energy would be "used up" if no more is applied. But on a downhill, gravity and slope accelerates the kinetic energy previously given, even if no more physical energy is applied. Here, brakes act against the wheels turning, so the bike slows then can be stopped.
What else can I help you with?
What type of energy is it when you move a handle or bike pedal and the gears or bike tires keep moving?
it is called mechanical energy.
What kind of energy transformations does riding a bike?
When riding a bike, the energy transformations involve converting chemical energy from food into mechanical energy to pedal the bike, which is then transformed into kinetic energy to move the bike forward. Additionally, some of the mechanical energy is lost as heat due to friction between moving parts.
How is it produced a moving bike?
how it is produce a moving bike
Is it possible to convert the mechanical energy produced while cycling into electrical energy?
The mechanical energy produced while cycling doesn't just float away to Neverland to make flowers grow.It goes directly into the kinetic energy of the mass of (cycle + rider). In other words, the mechanical energy is your motion on the bike. Less mechanical energy, and you move slower. No mechanical energy, and youdon't move at all.It is certainly possible to 'rob' some of the mechanical energy, and devices to do that have been availablesince I pedaled around the neighborhood on two oval rocks connected by a tree branch. You must have seenthe little electric generator that bears against the sidewall of the front bike-tire, and powers the lightson the bike.You can use as large a generator as you want, and rob as much of the mechanical energy as youwant to divert from your own kinetic energy ... in case you need to run a TV or a washing machineon the bike. Just remember, the energy you take away from moving your own mass becomesunavailable to move you and the bike, plus, when you add the generator and whateverextra equipment you're running with it, you then have moremass to lug around.
What type of energy conversion takes place when riding a bike turns on the headlight?
The energy produced is obviously light energy. The energy is provided by the bicycle's kinetic energy.
Can chemical energy transform into mechanical energy after riding a bike?
Not after riding a bike, but rather during riding a bike. Your muscles convert chemical energy (a form of potential energy) into mechanical energy to do work.
Can a bike transfer from chemical energy to mechanical energy?
Yes
What type of energy is a moving bike?
The energy associated with a moving bike is kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. As the pedals rotate and the wheels turn, the bike gains kinetic energy due to its motion.
Does a bike use mechanical or thermal energy?
it has both
What energy transformations happen as you eat a hamburger then ride your bike?
When you eat a hamburger, your body converts the chemical energy in the food into mechanical energy to fuel your movements. When you ride your bike, your muscles convert that stored chemical energy into mechanical energy to propel the bike forward. Overall, the energy transformations involve chemical energy from the food being converted to mechanical energy for movement.
What form of energy Is being used when somebody rides a bike?
Mechanical or kinetic energy
What energy transformations are in riding a bicycle?
When riding a bicycle, chemical energy from your body is converted into mechanical energy to pedal the bike. This mechanical energy is then transformed into kinetic energy as the bike moves forward. Additionally, some energy is lost to friction and air resistance, dissipating as heat energy.
