Does friction cause mechanical energy to change to thermal energy

Physics

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.

Which was the most important effect of the bessemer process
koban [17]

Answer: The effect of Bessemer process is its reduction in cost for steel production.

Explanation:

In the manufacturing of steel, Bessemer process was the first method discovered for mass production of steel. This was discovered by Sir Henry Bessemer and Williams Kelly both from United States. This method aids in the removal of impurities from iron and converts it to steel in few minutes (this usually takes a full day to achieve). The economy of the country improved as steel was made faster and cheaper causing companies to build thousands of new railroads.

Help for physics
12345 [234]

Answer:

A. 5 m/s

Explanation:

From the graph, for the first 2 seconds, the graph is a straight line meaning that the slope is a constant.

Average speed of an object is the rate of change of position. Here, the position of the object changes from 0 m to 10 m for a time interval of 2 seconds.

The change in position (\Delta x) and time interval (\Delta t) are given as:

\Delta x=10-0=10\ m\\\Delta t=2-0=2\ s

Therefore, the average speed (s_{avg}) is given as the ratio of the total change in position and the time interval for the change.

s_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{10-0}{2-0}=\frac{10}{2}=5\ m/s

Hence, the average speed is 5 m/s.

At which of the following angles will the sunlight received at a location on Earth fall over the smallest area? 80° 65° 40° 10°
Veronika [31]

Answer: D. 10 degree angle

All places on Earth received sunlight but in different angles. The smallest area, which is the north of the Arctic Circle receive sunlight at a 10 degree angle because of the tilted axis of rotation. Usually, the sun’s rays are the most intense at the equator and the least intense at the poles as Earth revolves around the sun.

Estimate the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Europa (one of the moons of Jupiter) given that its mass is 4.9×1022k
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:g=1.97 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mass of Jupiter is M=4.9\times 10^{22} kg

Density of Jupiter is same as Earth

density\ of\ Earth=density\ of\ Jupiter=5510 kg/m^3

mass=volume\times density

considering Jupiter to be sphere of radius r

M=\frac{4}{3}\times \pi r^3\times \rho

r^3=\frac{3M}{\rho \times 4\pi}

r^3=\frac{3\times 4.9\times 10^{22}}{5510\times 4\pi}

r=(\frac{3\times 4.9\times 10^{22}}{5510\times 4\pi})^{\frac{1}{3}}

r=1.28\times 10^6 m

acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 4.9\times 10^{22}}{(1.28\times 10^6)^2}

g=1.97 m/s^2

Use the motion map to answer the question.
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The object starts away from the origin and then moves toward the origin at a constant velocity. Next, it stops for one second. Finally, it moves away from the origin at a greater constant velocity.
