suppose that the bike rider in problem 15 pedaled up the hill and never came to a stop. in what system is energy conserved? from what form of energy did the bike gain mechanical energy?



Answer :

The system in which the energy is conserved in Isolated system.

The bike gain mechanical energy from heat energy (friction force).

What is law of conservation of energy?

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

The system must be isolated for the mechanical anergy to conserved. During the energy conservation, the kinetic energy of the bike from the ground level is converted into potential energy at the maximum height.

Mathematically, the formula for this energy conservation is written as;

Δ K.E = Δ P.E

where;

  • Δ K.E is change in kinetic energy of the bike
  • Δ P.E is change in potential energy of the bike
