In each step of the sequence, an energy transf ormation is occurring. Draw initial and final images f or each step and describe the initial and final types of energy and the ob ject that has the energy. All descriptions should include words such as in the. In each process, indicate whether energy is transf erred, transf ormed, or both. 1. The vaulter accelerates along the approach. 2. The planted pole flexes.
