When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes?
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
Mechanical energy that has been 'lost' to friction isn't really lost It just is no longer in its mechanical form?
true
Mechanical energy that has been 'lost' to friction has actually been destroyed?
false apex
If Mechanical energy that has been lost to friction has actually been destroyed true or false?
False
How does friction impact the amount of mechanical energy produced by a machine?
Friction in a machine can reduce the mechanical energy produced by increasing the amount of energy lost as heat. Friction between moving parts causes resistance, which converts some of the mechanical energy into thermal energy. Minimizing friction through lubrication and proper maintenance can help increase the efficiency of a machine and maximize the amount of mechanical energy it produces.

Mechanical energy that has been lost to friction has actually been destroyed?
Nope. One of the strongest pillars of Physics is the fact that energy is never destroyed. Energy lost to friction is no longer available to do the job that you happen to need it for, but it's still there, and it shows up as heat.
Is it conservation of mechanical energy when skydivers drop in the air at a constant rate and why?
No. In free fall, where mechanical energy is conserved, the falling object would go faster and faster. In this case, to fall at a constant speed, mechanical energy is lost, due to friction.
According to the law of conservation of mechanical energy if the only force acting on this pendulum is gravity the total energy of the system is .?
Conservation of mechanical energy means that the total mechanical energy doesn't increase or decrease over time.Note that in real systems, some mechanical will always be lost due to friction.
Which describes the relationships between friction and ima for a simple machine?
Ideal Mechanical Advantage ignores friction. Friction is a force that pops up when you move things. Friction in the direction of motion translates to energy -- lost energy. Unless you want to heat up the world.
What energy is lost in machine?
Friction energy
Why is mechanical efficiency always less than 100 percent?
That simply means that some energy is lost, due to friction and other causes.
Why is a the mechanical efficiancy of a machine less than 100?
Because, due to friction, there will always be a percentage of the energy lost through wasted heat.
