Answer:
The energy was stored as chemical energy in Sue' muscle before it was transformed into mechanical energy that moves the pump handle to ump the tyre
Step-by-step explanation:
In pumping up the tyre, the valve of manual pump is attached airtight to the tyre tube
As the handle of the pump is pulled up or out, air rushes into the pump from the atmosphere through the inlet valve
As the handle pushed in, the inlet valve closes and the air is forced into the tyre tube by difference in pressure and as the tube is filled, more pressure is required to enable the tube expand and build pressure inside to maintain a circular cross section while carrying load
According to Gay Lussac's Law, temperature of the air in the pump increases as its pressure increases
Given that Sue provides the energy for pumping the tyre, the energy was stored as chemical energy in Sue's muscles which is then used in moving the pump handle in the up and down motion required to pump the tyre
