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.

**100 points** PLEASE ANSWER IN 3 PARAGRAPHS
Deffense [45]

Answer:

In the previous section, we defined circular motion. The simplest case of circular motion is uniform circular motion, where an object travels a circular path at a constant speed. Note that, unlike speed, the linear velocity of an object in circular motion is constantly changing because it is always changing direction. We know from kinematics that acceleration is a change in velocity, either in magnitude or in direction or both. Therefore, an object undergoing uniform circular motion is always accelerating, even though the magnitude of its velocity is constant.

You experience this acceleration yourself every time you ride in a car while it turns a corner. If you hold the steering wheel steady during the turn and move at a constant speed, you are executing uniform circular motion. What you notice is a feeling of sliding (or being flung, depending on the speed) away from the center of the turn. This isn’t an actual force that is acting on you—it only happens because your body wants to continue moving in a straight line (as per Newton’s first law) whereas the car is turning off this straight-line path. Inside the car it appears as if you are forced away from the center of the turn. This fictitious force is known as the centrifugal force. The sharper the curve and the greater your speed, the more noticeable this effect becomes.

Figure 6.7 shows an object moving in a circular path at constant speed. The direction of the instantaneous tangential velocity is shown at two points along the path. Acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity; in this case it points roughly toward the center of rotation. (The center of rotation is at the center of the circular path). If we imagine Δs becoming smaller and smaller, then the acceleration would point exactly toward the center of rotation, but this case is hard to draw. We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion the centripetal acceleration ac because centripetal means center seeking.

hope it helps! stay safe and tell me if im wrong pls :D

(brainliest if you want, or if its right pls) :)

An object dropped on Planet P falls 144 m in 6 seconds. What is the gravitational acceleration of Planet P ? Gravitational accel
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The distance the object falls, s = 144 m

The time taken by the object is, t = 6 s

Using the III equations of motion

                  S = ut + ½ gt²

∴                 g = 2S/t²

Substituting the given values,

                   g = 2 x 144 /6²

                      = 8 m/s²

Hence, the gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²
