What does friction convert kinetic energy to?
Friction converts kinetic energy into thermal energy (heat) by generating heat through the resistance between two surfaces in contact.
How does contracting a 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.
Some hot water heaters convert electrical energy into what?
kinetic & heat energy
Means of transport which changes chemical energy into kinetic energy?
Many engines do this conversion. For example, the engines commonly found in cars convert the chemical energy first to heat (by burning it), then convert part of this heat into movement (kinetic energy).
You convert kinetic energy into thermal energy when you rub two sticks together because?
Kinetic energy is movement energy. So when you rub two sticks together, the rubbing is the kinetic energy. The friction that this causes releases heat. Heat is thermal energy. So due to friction you can convert kinetic energy into thermal energy by rubbing sticks together.
Is there a possibility to convert all the kinetic energy of a body to Heat?
Yes - bring it to a complete stop.
When braking does kinetic energy become heat energy?
Well, it really depends how the brakes are designed to work. In principle, a brake can, for example, convert part of the kinetic energy into an electrical current, which loads a battery.But yes, in the usual design, the kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.
Why is heat called the graveyard of kinetic energy?
Heat is referred to as the graveyard of kinetic energy in that once kinetic energy has been transformed into heat, it is no longer usable.
When you bring your bicycle to a stop where does the kinetic energy it had go?
When you bring your bicycle to a stop, the kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat and sound. Friction between the bike's wheels and the ground dissipates the kinetic energy as heat, while the braking mechanism may also convert some of it into sound energy.
What energy does friction convert to mechanical energy?
Friction converts kinetic energy into thermal energy due to the heat generated by the interaction of surfaces in contact.
Why is heat energy linked with kinetic energy?
It is linked because heat is the total potential and kinetic energy of an object, so as kinetic energy increases, heat increases.
Does wind turbins convert potentia lenergy kinetic energy or thermal energy into its original potential energy?
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy. They do not convert energy directly back into potential, kinetic, or thermal energy.
