The mechanism behind it is that when we start pedaling we are converting our bodys energy into the mechanical form which is initially the potential energy and ultimately is converted into kinetic energy due to the motion of the wheels.

Example of kinetic energy being converted to potential energy. A waterfall is an example of. The total energy stored in that rock is a combination of its size mass and its gravitational. When the PE is due to an objects height then.

This also applies to the opposite case. Its the falling hammer that has kinetic energy Third as soon as the hammer hits the table the energy changes. If the rock falls the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy.

From PE to KE. Kinetic energy is energy an object has because of its motion. When playing with the device one begins by letting it rest in his hand.

In this example the potential energy from food is converted into kinetic energy the energy of motion of the bicycle. When it reaches the furthest point it will reverse the process accelerating and converting potential energy into kinetic. A rock sitting at the edge of a cliff has potential energy.

At this point all of the. A ball held in the air for example has gravitational potential energyIf released as the ball moves faster and faster toward the ground the force of gravity will transfer the potential energy to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy KE is energy of motion.

Potential energy being converted into kinetic energy. Plugging in the numbers and putting velocity on one side you get the speed. PE due to gravity m g h.
