Question

drag each tile to the correct location. identify the transformations of energy that take place in the diagram. assume the girl in the diagram eats the corn to gain the energy to ride the bike. chemical energy to kinetic energy gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy radiant energy to chemical energy kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

Step1: Energy in corn

The corn gains energy from the sun. The sun's radiant energy is converted into chemical energy in the corn through photosynthesis. So, for the corn - radiant energy to chemical energy.

Step2: Energy for bike - riding

The girl eats the corn, and the chemical energy stored in the corn is converted into kinetic energy as she rides the bike. So, chemical energy to kinetic energy.

Step3: Energy on the hill

As the girl rides up the hill, her kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy. So, kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy.

Step4: Energy coming down the hill

As the girl rides down the hill, her gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. So, gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy.

Answer:

From left - to - right (assuming the order of events as described):

• chemical energy to kinetic energy
• kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy
• gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
• radiant energy to chemical energy
