When you push your bicycle up an incline, the potential energy of the bicylce and yourself increase. Where does this energy come from ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The energy inside our body causes increase in the P.E. of the bicycle and ourself.
As we are pushing the bicycle upon incline, the work done by the gravitational force is negative. Hence the energy losses.
