What Can cause kinetic energy to change to thermal energy?
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
Is thermal energy the same as kinetic energy?
No, thermal is a kind of kinetic energy.
Does Kinetic energy change to thermal energy when you rub your hands together?
Yes, I beleive so.
How does a contracting protostar convert gravitational energy into thermal energy?
Sliding friction tends to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy, thermal energy being heat, kinetic energy being movement.
The measurement of kinetic or thermal energy is known as what?
When the energy is molecular, atomic, or ionic, it is known as temperature. It is kinetic because the temperature is the mean kinetic energy of these particles. This, by definition, is the thermal energy.
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
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.
Is thermal energy the same as kinetic energy?
No, thermal is a kind of kinetic energy.
How is kinetic energy is related to thermal energy?
kinetic energy is related to thermal energy because thermal energy is basically full of kinetic energy due to all the particles in motion.

What type of energy is involved when there is a change in temperature?
Thermal (heat) energy - which is the kinetic energy of atoms/molecules.
Does Kinetic energy change to thermal energy when you rub your hands together?
Yes, I beleive so.
Is thermal energy a type of kinetic energy?
yes it is a kinetic energy. yes it is a kinetic energy.
What causes kinetic energy to change to thermal energy?
Kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy through friction. When a moving object is stopped by some sort of friction, the decrease in the object's kinetic energy is converted into equal amounts of thermal energy. Considering the Law of Conservation of Energy states that the energy in a closed system remains constant, it is impossible that the kinetic energy of an object could be lost altogether, so rather it is simply transformed into a different type of energy, thermal energy.
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 type of energy change results when friction slows an object down?
The kinetic energy of the object changes into thermal energy.
