Question

6 classify the type of energy
a bicyclist pedaling uphill
sitting on a branch in a tree
potential energy kinetic energy

Explanation:

Step1: Define kinetic and potential energy

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Potential energy is stored energy due to position or state.

Step2: Analyze "A bicyclist pedaling uphill"

The bicyclist is in motion, so has kinetic energy. Also, as the elevation increases, there is gravitational potential energy. But mainly due to motion, it has kinetic energy.

Step3: Analyze "A person pulling a bow"

The bow is deformed and has elastic potential energy stored in it due to the change in its shape.

Step4: Analyze "Sitting on a branch in a tree"

The person has gravitational potential energy due to their height above the ground.

Step5: Analyze "A running cheetah"

The cheetah is in motion, so it has kinetic energy.

Answer:

A bicyclist pedaling uphill: Kinetic Energy
A person pulling a bow: Potential Energy
Sitting on a branch in a tree: Potential Energy
A running cheetah: Kinetic Energy
