  1. Muscle cells convert chemical energy stored in ATP to kinetic energy.
  2. The kinetic energy lifts your body up the stairs and in the process is converted to potential energy.
In both of the above steps some of the energy is wasted, becoming thermal energy.

What happens to the amount of power expended when you are climbing stairs and then climb faster?

I believe that the amount of power/energy you exert on yourself climbing up the stairs is wasted, and the faster you go, the faster the power is used up. It takes a lot of energy to go up one flight of stairs than it does going down five or so, depending on the body type of the person and maybe even the amount of gravity in that specific area.


When you climb up the stairs what is the energy transformation?

chemical energy (stored in the muscles of the body) turns to kinetic energy (climbing up the stairs) and then is transformed to potential energy (once you reach the top of the stairs) due to your position.


Where does energy go after its been used?

After energy has been used, the energy transforms to another type of energy. This energy is obviously not usable. This useless energy then collects in the sky to form more useful energies.

Why are stairs used as opposed to just jumping up to?

Why its easier to go down the stairs than to go up?

It is easier to go down stairs because you are moving in the same direction as gravity, which assists in your movement. When going up stairs, you are going against gravity, which requires more effort. Additionally, the design of stairs typically favors descending with larger, more stable steps, while ascending usually involves smaller steps that require more energy.

How does a slinky go down stairs?

A slinky can "walk" down stairs due to the transfer of energy from the top of the stairs to the bottom. As the top of the slinky is released, gravity pulls it down, causing a wave of compression and expansion that propels the slinky downwards step by step.
