A tourist bus is carrying passengers from the bottom of a hill to the top. The people, the bus, and the luggage can be analyzed as a single machine structure system. The total amount of energy in the system decreases increases remains the same as the bus travels. This situation happens because some of the kinetic energy changes to kinetic potential thermal energy because of friction between the tires and the road.
