Friction


Would one of these produces or transfers heat light or conduction or friction or all of these?

Friction produces heat by converting mechanical energy into thermal energy. Light is produced by sources such as the sun or light bulbs. Conduction transfers heat through direct contact between materials. So, friction produces heat, light is emitted, and conduction transfers heat.

What energy transfers in a train?

In a train, energy transfers as electrical energy from the power source to mechanical energy in the locomotive, which propels the train forward. Some of this energy is also transferred to kinetic energy as the train travels, and friction between the wheels and the track causes some energy to be lost as heat.
