The diagram above represents a bicyclist at the top of a hill, with four points labeled W, X, Y, and Z.
From point W to point Z, how will this bicyclist tranfer their energy.

The bicyclist will transfer stored energy into energy of motion.

Internal energy will cause the bicyclist to move until the energy is gone and does not exist anymore.

Which of the following statements describes an energy change that takes place as the person lifts the mallet and then lets it fall toward the target.

Potential energy is the highest as the mallet strikes the target.

Potential energy converts to kinetic energy as the mallet falls toward the target.

How would you describe the relationship between the mass of a car and its kinetic energy by looking at the graph below?

As the mass of a car increases, its kinetic energy increases.

As the mass of a car increases, its kinetic energy decreases.
