What becomes of the energy used in the overcoming friction?

The energy used to overcome friction is converted into heat. Friction converts mechanical energy into thermal energy as objects slide or rub against each other. This heat energy dissipates into the surrounding environment.


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 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.


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 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.


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.


Why is the amount of mechanical energy produced less than the amount of electrical energy used?

The efficiency of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy is never 100% due to losses in the system like friction, heat, and other inefficiencies. These losses result in less mechanical energy being produced than the electrical energy that was initially used.


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.


A car's motor does 2500 kJ of work in moving the car however the car only has 18 kJ of kinetic energy. Explain how this can happen?

The car's motor does work to transfer energy, a portion of which is used for purposes other than kinetic energy, such as overcoming friction, air resistance, or internal mechanical losses. Therefore, not all the energy output by the motor contributes to the car's kinetic energy, resulting in a discrepancy between the work done by the motor and the car's kinetic energy.
