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.

A 20-cm-long spring is attached to a wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100 N, the spring stretches to a length of 2
Delvig [45]

Answer:

the length of stretched spring  in cm is 22

Explanation:

given information:

spring length, x1 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

force, F = 100 N

the length of spring streches, x2 = 22 cm = 0.22 m

According to Hooke's law

F = - kΔx

k = F/*=(x2-x1)

  = 100/(0.22 - 0.20)

  = 5000 N/m

if the spring is now suspended from a hook and a 10.2-kg block is attached to the bottom end

m = 10.2 kg

W = m g

    = 10.2 x 9.8

    = 99.96 N

F = - k Δx

Δx = F / k

     = 99.96 / 5000

     = 0.02

Δx = x2- x1

x2 = Δx + x1

    = 0.20 + 0.02

    = 0.22 m

     = 22 cm

Explain how do winds cause surface currents?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

As wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it. ... The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns.

When you bent the plastic ruler, what did you observe in its size? ​
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The size will increase.

Explanation:

When you bend a plastic ruler, it's size will increase because it is elastic and will exhibit elastic deformation. When it is been bent, it will continue to stretch until it get to a point where it will not be able to regain it formal shape, it size wound of increase. Therefore when the ruler get to elastic limit and you have bend it to the point it cannot regain it's formal shape back, it will remain bent and if further force is apply on it,it will break.

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

         

a-b

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.          

 

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams} ⇒ 7.6x10^{-3}Kg
