How do you convert kinetic energy to heat energy?

Friction would be the easiest way.


How does mechanical energy change into heat energy?

It can convert in several different ways; one common way is through friction.


What energy tranformations take place when the brake pedals are pressed?

Kinetic energy becomes heat by way of the friction caused by braking.


What converts heat energy into work?

I suppose you could convert kinetic energy into thermal energy via friction, i.e. a moving object could move along another object, causing friction, which would release thermal energy in the process. I cannot think of a more direct way. -Hazz

friction is one way


Why is friction a disadvantage?

Loss of energy. Any way friction is a necessary evil


How does perpetual motion machine fits the principal of conservation of energy?

Perpetual motion would only fit the principle of the conservation of energy if it was a machine that moved that did not have any friction or produce any sound or produce any form of heat or energy that could be lost in any way. Since no such machine is possible to create, as far as we know, perpetual motion is declared an impossibility and does NOT fit the principle of the conservation of energy. Energy will undoubtedly be lost somewhere in a moving system.


How can an object produce heat?

One way is if an object has, or is given energy. For example, if you turn a lamp on and leave it, it starts to get hot from the energy being given to it


What is a way to produce heat energy?

Burn a fossil fuel like coal or oil, or use uranium in a nuclear reactor


What is both a form of energy and a way that heat transfers energy?

Thermal energy, or heat energy, is a form of energy and a way that heat transfers energy from hot objects to cold objects.


How do you know when something represent friction?

One way to tell if friction is happening is if there is heat. Friction occurs when two things rub against each other, and this generates heat. Another way to tell is if the items are becoming chafed.


Objects moved against a force are called?

When an object rubs against another, or something opposes force, it creates friction, hich is excess heat energy. in a way, friction just wastes energy, but without it, many objects would never stop moving.
