Answer:

false

Explanation:

Work may be done in positive or negative direction. When a work is done in positive direction, it is called useful work, when work is done in negative direction, it is known as useless work. Any energy associated with friction produces useless work. That is, the work is done in negative direction.

Therefore, thermal energy produced by friction can be used to do work but in negative direction.

The correct option is false.

How do scientists know the continents were once closer than they are today? Explain your answer in 2-3 complete sentences.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics. 

 

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.
