A 50-kg bicyclist coasts up a hill. What is the cyclist change in kinetic energy as her altitude changes from 15m to 20m?
A) 0 joules
B) approximately 2,500 joules
C) approximately 7.500 joules
D) approximately 10.000 joules

B) approximately 2,500 joules

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy. So, the increase of potential energy or approximately 2,500 joules is the loss in kinetic energy.

freezing

deposition

condensation

explanation;

melting also called fusion is the process where solid becomes liquid, sublimation is the process where solid becomes gaseous without first changing to liquid, deposition involves change from gaseous to solid state, freezing involves change from liquid to solid, boiling or evaporation involves change of liquid to gaseous state, while condensation is the change from gaseous state to liquid state.

endothermic reactions involves absorption of heat from the surroundings or the environment while exothermic reactions involves loss of heat energy to the surroundings.

in this case, sublimation, evaporation and melting are endothermic reactions (gain energy from the environment) while, freezing, deposition and condensation are exothermic (loss of energy to the surroundings) reactions.
