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

Answer:

Explanation:
Since <em>light is so fast</em> we can assume no time passes between the lightning strikes and we observe it. We want to know then how far away did the strike occur for the sound to take 16s to reach our ears. Since the definition of velocity tells us that
, we can write 
Answer:
Explanation:
When the pendulum falls freely the net acceleration due to gravity is zero.
As we know that the time period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity, thus the time period becomes infinity.
