Bridget is riding her bicycle up a hill. Which statements are correct? Check all that apply.
A. Bridget is transferring energy to the bicycle. B. The bicycle is using energy to do work. C. Bridget has kinetic energy. D. The bicycle has potential energy. E. Bridget has nuclear energy. F. The bicycle has mechanical energy.

Respuesta :

A,B,C,D, and F are correct

Answer: The correct options are Options A, B, C, D and F.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the motion of the object.

Potential energy is the energy which is possessed by the position of the object.

Mechanical energy is the combination of potential and kinetic energy.

Nuclear energy is the energy released when atom's nucleus undergo fission or fusion reaction.

For the given question,

Bridget and bicycle both are in motion and she is pedaling a bicycle up a hill which posses height and thus energy involved for this will be both kinetic and potential energies. As, both energies are present, we can say that mechanical energy is also present.

Since, Bridget is pedaling the bicycle, so, she is transferring some energy to the bicycle which in turn is moving. Therefore, work is done by the bicycle.

As, no nucleus is present, so no nuclear energy is involved in this process.

Hence, the correct options are Option A, B, C, D and F.
