What becomes of the energy used in the overcoming friction?
it is dissipated as heat
What form energy is used when a person pushes a wooden block across the floor?
Friction is produced and kinetic energy is used
How does friction affect stopping distance?
Some of the kinetic energy of a body in motion is used up in overcoming friction, which acts in the direction opposite to that of the motion. The reduction in energy means that the stopping force needs less time to do its work.
What energy does friction make?
Friction is the interaction of (relatively) opposed matter and orbital electron energy caused to displace or vibrate thereby transferring sound (or noise) energy through the matter structure due to kinetic energy being displaced in interacting atomic structures. When friction is aplied, the energy between the object increases. It can create thermal energy(heat). Depending on the objects with friction applied, the types of energy created can differ.
What is a sentence you can use for the word Friction?
Friction Is the Force that makes it harder for two things to move against one another. 1) When I rub my hands I make friction. 2) When friction is used , energy is produced.
What are disadvantages of heat produced by friction in machines?
energy used for the machine will get lost as heat .machine parts will get worn out.
A kitchen blender transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy Why is the amount of mechanical energy produced less than the amount of electrical energy used?
Losses are due to inefficencies of the motor, and friction on moving parts.
What kind of energy is used in friction?
Kinetic energy or the energy of motion is used which is then transformed to heat energy.
During photosynthesis what energy is produced by energy?
Chemical energy is produced. Light energy is used
How is friction good and bad?
Friction is good because it provides traction. Friction is necessary for people to stand, or for vehicles to accelerate or break. Friction can also be used to convert kinetic energy to heat or electrical energy. Friction can be bad because kinetic energy is can be lost to friction.
What kind of energy does friction have?
Friction is NOT energy. Friction is a FORCE (rather than a form of energy). It can be used in the formula: W = F·d where "W" stands for work (which IS energy), F stands for force (like friction), and "d" stands for distance over which the force is exerted. Typically when friction is present some kind of energy of motion such as mechanical energy or kinetic energy or potential energy is being transformed into heat.
Why is friction called a necessary evil?
Friction is necessary : If there is no friction between any two surfaces in contact, then the present day civilization will be no more- as we cannot even walk properly on the earth. There will be no fabrics and garments, no construction of buildings and no furniture, even no cooking and no vehicles. So friction is necessary. But too much friction causes a heavy loss of energy, wear and tear of machinery. Thus, the efficiency of machines will decrease tremendously. So, it is rightly said that friction is a necessary evil.
