Question 87838 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Bridget is riding her bicycle up a hill. Which statements are correct? Select five options.Bridget is transferring energy to the bicycle.The bicycle is using energy to do work.Bridget has kinetic energy.The bicycle has potential energy.Bridget has nuclear energy.The bicycle has mechanical energy.

Answer
A
Bridget is transferring energy to the bicycle.
B
The bicycle is using energy to do work.
C
Bridget has kinetic energy.
D
The bicycle has potential energy.
E
Bridget has nuclear energy.
F
The bicycle has mechanical energy.

Explanation

As Bridget pedals uphill, she transfers energy to the bicycle, and the bicycle uses that energy to do work against gravity. Bridget is moving, so she has kinetic energy; the bicycle gains gravitational potential energy as it climbs. The bicycle also has mechanical energy, which includes energy of motion and position. Nuclear energy is not involved in this situation.
