When a person is riding a bicycle, the muscular energy  gets converted into heat energy of the body of the person as well as in kinetic energy of the bicycle. The kinetic energy makes the bicycle to move whereas the heat energy heats up the body of the person.

Home Copy Cox Bark Exercise Book Chapter 11 In the previous few chapters we have talked about ways of describing the motion of objects, the cause of motion and gravitation. Another concept that helps us understand and interpret many natural phenomena is 'work'. Closely related to work are energy and power. In this chapter we shall study these concepts. All living beings need food. Living beings have to perform several basic activities to survive. We call such activities 'life processes. The energy for these processes comes from food. We need energy for other activities like playing, singing, reading, writing, thinking. Jumping, cycling and running. Activities that are strenuous require more energy. Animals too get engaged in activities. For example, they may jump and run. They have to fight, move away from enemies, find food or find a safe place to live. Also, we engage some animals to lift weights, carry loads, pull carts or plough fields. All such activities require energy. Think of machines. List the machines that you have come across. What do they need for their working? Why do some engines require fuel like petrol and diesel? Why do living beings and machines need energy? 11.1 Work What is work? There is a difference in the way we use the term 'work' in day-to-day life and the way we use it in science. To make this point clear let us consider a few examples. WORK AND ENERGY draws diagrams, organises her thoughts, collects question papers, attends classes. discusses problems with her friends. and performs experiments. She expends a lot of energy on these activities. In common parlance, she is 'working hard. All this hard work' may involve very little 'work' if we go by the scientific definition of work. You are working hard to push a huge rock. Let us say the rock does not move despite all the effort. You get completely exhausted, However, you have not done any work on the rock as there is no displacement of the rock. 11.1.1 NOT MUCH 'WORK' IN SPITE OF WORKING HARD! 好 Kamali is preparing for examinations. She spends lot of time in studies. She reads books, 3.12.22 Pension You stand still for a few minutes with a heavy load on your head. You get tired. You have exerted yourself and have spent quite a bit of your energy. Are you doing work on the load? The way we understand the term 'work' in science, work is not done. You climb up the steps of a staircase and reach the second floor of a building just to see the landscape from there. You may even climb up a tall tree. If we apply the scientific definition, these activities involve a lot of work. Activity 11.1 We have discussed in the above. paragraphs a number of activities which we normally consider to be work to-day life. action, ask the in and answer them: What is the wor What is happer a) Who (what) is c In day-to-day life, we consider any useful physical or mental labour as work. Activities like playing in a field, talking with friends. humming a tune, watching a movie, attending a function are sometimes not considered to be work. What constitutes 'work' depends on the way we define it. We use and define the term work differently in science. To understand this let us do the following activities: ILL2SCIENTIFIC CON understand the wa from the pos der some si pebble lyin tus c ha e moves through a ork is done book through you must apply a force There is a force appliec book has moved. Hene A closer look at t reveals that two cor on the pebble placed. In this situa Agirl pulls a trolley a distance.
