6. Ben says to Jerry that the potential energy change of the Ben-Earth system as he climbs a ladder from the first rung to the fourth rung is smaller than the potential energy change of the same system as he
climbs from the second rung to the fifth rung because gravitational potential energy is proportional to
height and the height of the fifth rung is greater than the height of the fourth rung. In response, Jerry
draws a diagram with two ladders with one in the basement and one on the first floor. Construct Jerry's
diagram and annotate the diagram to support his evaluation of Ben's claim.

chemical energy --> gravitational potential energy --> kinetic energy --> elastic potential energy --> gravitational potential energy

explanation:

when emma starts the hike, the chemical energy stored in her body is used to climb up the mountain, and so she gains gravitational potential energy (because at the end, she will be at a higher height h above the ground). then she goes bungee jumping: as she falls, this gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (because her speed increases as she falls down), until the point when the rope stretches, and she stops moving. at that moment, all the kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy due to the stretching of the rope. then, this energy is released because the rope returns to its natural length, and emma gains a small increase in altitude , so she gains some gravitational potential energy.
