State the principle of conversation of energy. What are various energy transformations that
oocur when you are are riding a bicycle?
Conservation of energy:
Conservation of energy means energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transferred from one form to another form.
Conversion of energy:
Change of energy from on form to another form.
While riding a bicycle, the muscular energy of the rider gets transferred into heat energy and kinetic energy of the bicycle. Heat energy heats the rider’s body. Kinetic energy provides a velocity to the bicycle. The transformation can be shown as:
During the transformation, the total energy remains conserved.
