You find yourself on your bike at the top of Twin Peaks in San Francisco. You are facing a 600m
descent. You and your bike weigh a combined 85 kg.
1. How much gravitational potential energy do you have before your descent? 600 m X 85 kg X 9.8 m/s/s = _______________________
2. You descend. If all that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, what will your speed be at the bottom? Speed = ½ ms2
3. Name two other places to which your potential energy of gravity was transferred besides kinetic energy. _______________ and __________________. How will this manifest itself in your speed at the bottom of the hill? ___________________________ (No numerical answer is needed here.)
