Gravitational / chemical energy from your leg, to kinetic energy when you push the board along which then transfers to heat and sound as you go along.

What energy transformations happen as you eat a hamburger then ride your bike?

When you eat a hamburger, your body converts the chemical energy in the food into mechanical energy to fuel your movements. When you ride your bike, your muscles convert that stored chemical energy into mechanical energy to propel the bike forward. Overall, the energy transformations involve chemical energy from the food being converted to mechanical energy for movement.


One exciting fairground ride acts like a giant ctapult The capsule in which you are strapped is fired high into the sky by rubber strapsexplain the energy changes taking place in the ride ride?

# Once you are launched into the sky it will be Kinetic Energy which then becomes Gravitational Potential Energy due to your height above the ground. During the ride there may be sound energy as well as wind energy. Once lowered back onto the ground it shall be GPE which soon changes back to kinetic energy.


Trace the energy transformations from a hamburger you eat riding your bike?

It goes from chemical to kinetic.


What do you think happened to the energy lost during the coaster ride?

The energy lost during a coaster ride is usually converted into other forms, such as heat, sound, or friction. Some coasters may have regenerative braking systems that convert lost energy back into electrical energy for reuse. Overall, the energy lost during a coaster ride is typically dissipated into the environment in various ways.


What forces keep you in place on a fairground ride?

Centripetal force, friction, and gravity are the main forces that keep you in place on a fairground ride. Centripetal force pulls you towards the center of the ride, while friction between your body and the seat helps prevent you from sliding. Gravity also plays a role in keeping you grounded and pressed against the ride.
