Question
move the slider beneath the cyclist to the middle and observe the movement of energy in the system until the cyclist has no energy left. drag each form of energy to the correct box to describe how energy transforms in the system. mechanical thermal electrical chemical most of the energy in the cyclist is transformed into energy to spin the wheel in the generator. it is then turned into energy as it travels to the water, where it becomes energy
The cyclist has chemical energy stored in their body from food. This is transformed into mechanical energy to spin the wheel in the generator. The mechanical - motion in the generator is then converted into electrical energy. As the electrical energy travels to the water, it is dissipated as thermal energy due to resistance and other factors.
