Does friction cause mechanical energy to change to thermal energy

Yes, it does. Because it requires the body to do work against the friction to be able to move which causes heating. Think about rubbing your hands and how they warm up as you rub them more vigorously.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the block is  m =  4.84 \ kg

    The height of the vertical  drop is h =  19.6 \  m

Generally from the law of energy conservation , the potential energy at the top  of the slide is equal to the kinetic energy at the point after sliding this can be mathematically represented as

        PE  =  KE

i.e     m *  g  *   h   =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  v^2

=>    gh  =  0.5 v^2

=>   v = \sqrt{\frac{9.8 *  19.6}{0.5 } }

=>    v = 19.6 \  m/s

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Force exerted by car on truck will be 6000 N in opposite direction

Explanation:

It is given that mass of the car is one quarter of the mass of the truck

Force exerted by the truck on the car is 6000 N

We have to find the force exerted by car on the truck

According to newtons third law for any action there is equal and opposite reaction

So force exerted by car on the truck will be equal to 6000 N in opposite direction

Kinetic vs potential energy
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy obtained from movement while potential energy is the energy in something when it is at a height or has been manipulated in some way; it has work done to it.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is, like I said, energy gained through movement or action. When an object stops moving, it converts into a different type of energy. Energy cannot be destroyed or created. An object with potential energy has a reference. A reference determines how high it is. The higher and heavier an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Hope this helps!
