What can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
What Can cause kinetic energy to change to thermal energy?
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
What can cause the energy of matter to change?
Friction
Energy is the ability to do work or cause?
friction
What kind of surface increase friction?
energy
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.
How does friction affect energy transformations?
It cause degradation of energy transformation. In other word, it loss the efficiency through friction.
What kind of surface would increase friction?
energy
Which kind of friction does not cause heat?
None. All friction opposes the motion of the object on which it acts. As such it does negative work, transforming kinetic energy of the object into the random kinetic energy of the particles which make up the surroundings, in other words into heat.
Friction normally converts mechanical kinetic energy into what kind of energy?
heat
What kind of energy is used in friction?
Kinetic energy or the energy of motion is used which is then transformed to heat energy.
Does friction cause you to use more energy?
Yes, usually.
