Answer
The possible energy changes taking place while the truck is in motion are:
- Burning of diesel causes the truck to run so chemical energy changes into kinetic energy.
- When the truck runs on the road, due to friction kinetic energy changes to heat and sound energy.

Sushila goes to a park and rides a swing. When she reaches the highest point, she pauses for a fraction of a second before coming down. At the lowest point she moves the fastest. She keeps swinging without anyone pushing again and again for some time. She does not know the reason.
Answer the following :
(i) Which mechanical energy is maximum at the highest point ?
(ii) Which mechanical energy is maximum at the lowest point ?
(iii) Is mechanical energy generated again when she swings back up ?
(iv) Give one condition when the swing may finally stop with reason.
