Answer:
(a) gravitational potential energy converted to kinetic energy
(b) chemical energy is converted to light or heat energy
(c) mechanical energy is converted into kinetic energy
Assuming you're working in a 3D cartesian coordinate system, i.e. each point in space has an x, y, and z coordinate, you add up the forces' x/y/z components to find the resultant force.
Explanation:
A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.
On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.
Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.
Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.
