The thermal energy that is generated due to friction is 344J.
<h3>What is the thermal energy?</h3>
Now we know that the total mechanical energy in the system is constant. The loss in energy is given by the loss in energy.
Thus, the kinetic energy is given as;
KE = 0.5 * mv^2 =0.5 * 15.0-kg * (1.10 m/s)^2 = 9.1 J
PE = mgh = 15.0-kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.40 m = 352.8 J
The thermal energy is; 352.8 J - 9.1 J = 344J

Remember, that while sped is constant, acceleration is not. Acceleration is when velicity changes. So the graph which shows the slop <span>of a velocity vs time describes acceleration.
</span>If we have the straight line on the graph it means that the slope is always the same whereas the <span>non-linear graphs has a variable slope that changes depending on your point in the graph.
</span>To conclude - if your graph is not a straight line it has variable acc at many points.<span>
