In this scenario, only conservative force is acting on the ice-cream hence energy is conserved.
Now, you know that ice-cream was held at a height of 1.75 m from ground. Taking ground( h= 0 meters) as reference,
Total energy of ice-cream before it fell = Total energy after it reached the ground.
Once ice-cream falls, all its GPE is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy will be maximum just before it hits the ground. And since ice-cream is inelastic substance, it will come to at rest. That is, its GPE will be zero on the ground
If you are cold and you rub your hands together then that friction can create warmth. Useful
If you're sliding down a staircase railing and your hands are on the raiking then the friction may burn your hands a little. Not useful<span />
The First Quarter Moon is a primary Moon phase when we can see exactly half of the Moon's visible surface illuminated. If it is the left or right half, depends on where you are on Earth.
Because once you use oil you can not reuse it but the sun you can because it is always here and it has solar energy
