Um this doesn't make since to me since you did not clearly state your awnser
The thermal energy that is generated due to friction is 344J.
<h3>What is the thermal energy?</h3>
Now we know that the total mechanical energy in the system is constant. The loss in energy is given by the loss in energy.
Thus, the kinetic energy is given as;
KE = 0.5 * mv^2 =0.5 * 15.0-kg * (1.10 m/s)^2 = 9.1 J
PE = mgh = 15.0-kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.40 m = 352.8 J
The thermal energy is; 352.8 J - 9.1 J = 344J
