question 16 of 27
what energy transformation takes place when you climb a ladder?
a. mechanical energy transforms into elastic energy.
b. potential energy transforms into thermal energy.
c. potential energy transforms into kinetic energy.
d. kinetic energy transforms into potential energy.

Explanation:

When climbing a ladder, you are in motion (have kinetic energy) and as you go up, your height increases which means your gravitational - potential energy increases. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and potential energy is related to height. So, kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy.

Answer:

D. Kinetic energy transforms into potential energy.
