Question

Name two energy transformations that occur as Adeline pedals her bicycle up a steep hill and then coasts down the other side.

Answer

Potential energy is first transformed into kinetic energy as she pedals, then gravitational as she coasts down the hill.

So it starts as potential engry sence they are staying still but then been they strt moveing by pedleing upnthe hill it turns/or changes in kentic energy sence we are gping up the when i go bake down i don't use as much force or have to push because the gravity is pulling me down thats when it turns into gravitational energy.


Hope this helps :)
