When a firefighter slides down a pole does it cause chemical energy to form?
no
Where does thermal energy come from when a fire fighter slides down a pole?
When a firefighter slides down a pole the thermal energy comes from the friction between the two objects.
Thermal energy is produced when firefighter slides down a pole where does it come from?
The potential energy (due to the fighter's position in the Earth's gravity field). This is converted into kinetic energy as the fighter begins the slide and this kinetic energy is turned into heat energy by friction as the fighter slides.
Is rolling down a grassy hill kinetic or potiental?
Any time something falls, rolls, or slides down, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
A wooden block is released from rest at the top of a frictionless inclined plan and slides down to the bottomWhat convertions of energy are taking place as the block goes down the inclined plane?
Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
What type of energy does a sled have as it slides down a hill?
While a sled slides down a hill, it has kinetic energy(Ek = 1/2mv2).At the top of the slope, while not moving, it would have possessed gravitational potential energy. As it moves down the slope, however, some energy is converted to heat and sound in accordance with the Law of the Conservation of Energy which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed but is converted from one form to another.
What happens when one plates slides past another?
Earthquakes
What happens when a plate slides against another plate?
it has transform boundary

What happens when a plate moves?
usually there would earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mud slides
