Does a falling objects thermal energy change to kinetic energy?

Yes, I believe so. As it gains upward momentum it is using thermal energy, and when it stops, and falls with gravity back to earth it is using kinetic energy. I think that's right.

What can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
What Can cause kinetic energy to change to thermal energy?
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
Is there a change in an objects thermal energy if the object is at thermal equilibrium?
no
Does gravity cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?
No. Friction with the air does with an object in free fall in the earth's atmosphere. Gravity causes a falling body to accelerate so it changes potential energy into kinetic energy.
How are thermal energy and temperature alike?
If you increase temperature you increase thermal energy.If you double the amount you have the temperature does not change but the thermal energy does.Temperature and thermal energy are the same since they both use kinetic energy. Temperature uses the thermal energy when the heat measures the average of the kinetic energy. The thermal energy uses the kinetic energy, when it's averged together with the kinetic enery and the others to make the thermal energy.==========================Answer #2:Wow !Temperature is to thermal energy as depth is to water.
Does Kinetic energy change to thermal energy when you rub your hands together?
Yes, I beleive so.
How the thermal energy of an object change when the objects temperature change?
when abody is heated definitely its thermal energy increases so far that it can even cause a change in its physical appearance
The change in an objects volume that occurs when heat is added is called?
thermal expansion
How can you change thermal energy into kinetic energy?
heat engine: steam, internal combustion, turbines, etc
What type of energy is involved when there is a change in temperature?
Thermal (heat) energy - which is the kinetic energy of atoms/molecules.
If a book has fallen what energy has it change from?
A falling book exhibits a change from potential energy (rest) to kinetic energy (motion).
Formula for acceleration of all objects falling to the earth?
a=change in velocity time
