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

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.

What energy transformation is involved in the wind up toy?
The energy transformation in a wind up toy is potential energy --> Kinetic energy
What energy transformation takes place when an object is pushed up an inclined plane?
chemical energy -----> potential energy -------> kinetic energy
What energy is used as you climb up the slide?
Mechanical energy, because you are moving. Also your potential energy gains, as you go up higher
What type of energy is used to go up stairs?
Muscle cells convert chemical energy stored in ATP to kinetic energy.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.
Is climbing stairs an example of work?
Yes because it require an input of energy to raise a mass (you) up the stairs against the force of gravity.
Cow can climb up the stairs but it can not climb down the stairs why?
I have personally watched my cow climb down a set of stairs. The disclaimer of cows not being able to climb down stairs probably refers to very narrow stairs.

How does the elevator help people?
they create them equal. it helps them not have to climb up the stairs/ :)
Why do we have to use more effort to climb up a flight of stairs as compared to when we go down the stairs?
Going up, you have to overcome gravity with every step.
Why is it more difficult to climb stairs than to walk on level?
Stairs are inclined planes, stairs are on a slant. We bring ourselves down and up the stairs that's why they are on a slant because we are the loads.
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.
How do you get to Avenue A on Shrink Ray Island?

Can you use stairs on CN tower?
The CN Tower has stairs that are open to the public. There are stair-climbing events that are held annually as fundraising efforts. Feel free to climb (or even run) up a half kilometer or so of stairs if you like, but I prefer taking the elevator.
Can skunks climb up on a wooden saw horse or climb steps?
I did find a skunk on the deck outside my door and you have to climb 10 stairs to get there....so I say Yes.
