**Energy Concepts in Motion: Gravitational Potential and Kinetic Energy****Scenario:**A box is being pulled up a hill at constant speed. Consider the following statements and determine which accurately describe the energy changes occurring in this situation.**Statements:**1. ☑ The kinetic energy is increasing2. ⬜ The gravitational potential energy is staying the same3. ⬜ The gravitational potential energy is decreasing4. ☑ The gravitational potential energy is increasing5. ⬜ The kinetic energy is decreasing6. ⬜ The kinetic energy is staying the same**Explanation:**When analyzing the energy changes as the box is pulled uphill at a constant speed:- **Kinetic Energy:** Since the box is moving at a constant speed, its kinetic energy does not increase or decrease. Hence, the correct statement should be that the kinetic energy is staying the same.- **Gravitational Potential Energy:** As the box moves uphill, it gains height, which means its gravitational potential energy increases. Therefore, the statement indicating that gravitational potential energy is increasing is true.In summary, the correct true statement is: - ☑ The gravitational potential energy is increasingThe incorrect selections: - ☑ The kinetic energy is increasing (This should be unchecked as the speed is constant and so is kinetic energy)This scenario illustrates the principles of energy conservation and transformation between potential and kinetic energies in motion on an incline.

The top of a descending ski slope is 50 m higher than the bottom of the slope. A 60-kg skier starts from rest and skis straight to the bottom of the slope. If 20% of the gravitational potential energy change of the skier is converted into internal energy (due to friction and air drag), how fast is the 60-kg skier traveling at the bottom of the slope? Again, represent the process with work-energy bar charts indicating the system, the initial state, and the final state.

Kangaroos have very stout tendons in their legs that can be used to store energy. When a kangaroo lands on its feet, the tendons stretch, transforming kinetic energy of motion to elastic potential energy. Much of this energy can be transformed back into kinetic energy as the kangaroo takes another hop. The kangaroo’s peculiar hopping gait is not very efficient at low speeds but is quite efficient at high speeds. as shown the energy cost of human and kangaroo locomotion. The graph shows oxygen uptake (in mL/s) per kg of body mass, allowing a direct comparison between the two species. For humans, the energy used per second (i.e., power) is proportional to the speed. That is, the human curve nearly passes through the origin, so running twice as fast takes approximately twice as much power. For a hopping kangaroo, the graph of energy use has only a very small slope. In other words, the energy used per second changes very little with speed. Going faster requires very little additional…
