Question 87838 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC
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.
