Question 117

A cyclist is riding down a hill. As they descend, they apply the brakes, causing their speed to decrease.

What are the main energy transfers that take place during this descent?

A

gravitational potential+kinetic→thermal\text{gravitational potential} + \text{kinetic} \rightarrow \text{thermal}gravitational potential+kinetic→thermal

B

gravitational potential→kinetic+thermal\text{gravitational potential} \rightarrow \text{kinetic} + \text{thermal}gravitational potential→kinetic+thermal

C

kinetic→gravitational potential+thermal\text{kinetic} \rightarrow \text{gravitational potential} + \text{thermal}kinetic→gravitational potential+thermal

D

thermal→gravitational potential+kinetic\text{thermal} \rightarrow \text{gravitational potential} + \text{kinetic}thermal→gravitational potential+kinetic
