Can you explain the concept of energy conservation?

Using the law of conservation of energy, explain why you become tired from pushing your bicycle along the road

  • The law of conservation of energy is energy can be neither created nor destroyed by ordinary means. Thats what my book gave me as a definition.

  • Answer:

    no "physical" energy is lost ihe bike is there, your there, etc.. you become tired due to buildup of acids in your muscles . lack of oxygen and hydration.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed (except in nuclear reactions). It can be stored and converted from one kind of energy into another, and it can move from one place to another. It takes energy to move your bicycle. Where does the energy to move your bicycle come from? Where does it go?

The law of conservation of energy is right. When you push your bicycle or you run or play, it is the glucose in your body (blood) which is chemically decomposed in exothermic reactions (where energy is released in a chemical reaction) to give energy. This change in the body brings two effects: 1. Some acids are produced which give a feeling of burn to the muscles. 2. Glucose level in the blood is decreased and so production of energy is gradually decreased which gives the feelings of tired ness. What this all to law of conservation of energy? The energy produced in your body is transformed in different shapes (mostly kinetic energy) out of your body and so your contents of potential energy are reduced.
