Best Answer

Friction most often produces thermal (heat) energy. Other forms of energy are possible, and many of these are secondary products. And example is the appearance of light being given off by the highly heated bits of metal coming off a grinding wheel. The grinding wheel superheats the metal (friction), and the bits of metal torn off in the process come away with so much thermal energy, they glow brightly.

In computer terminology, it is ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). Otherwise, static electricity.

What is the full form of the internet?

An "International computer Network" internet is an useless thing ...... play gta san Andreas instead ........ Internet is not an abbreviation, so it doesn't have a 'full form'


What is the difference between flame and heat?

"Flame" is the visible energy when burning something. "Heat" is given off a flame and countless other things. Flame produces heat, but heat does not always generate from flame, and heat almost never produces flame (friction might count). And if you want the definitions: HEAT: a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature. FLAME: the process of combustion of materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke. If you want to think of it a different way: Flame is what you see when you look at a fire and heat if what you feel from the fire.


Give an example of a scientific law?

Energy can not be created or destroyed, it only changes form.


Why some appliances producemoreheatthan others?

This depends specifically on the appliance and the way it is designed. For instance dryers, dishwashers, etc. are designed to produce heat and the heat given off is not necessarily a sign of energy loss or inefficiency. Also, appliances like refrigerators are not only designed to cool the inside, but also to take the warm air out of the food compartment, this is why you bottom vent on a fridge will often produce a warm breeze. The heat produced by appliances differed on design and efficiently its built. Remember! heat is only another form of energy and electrical energy turns into heat in objects like transformers, which are in appliances, and when this happens its energy loss. Appliances labeled as Energy Star are designed to eliminate energy loss and maximize efficiency which is also why Energy Star appliances may run cooler then typical appliances.


What is hydroeletric?

Hydroelectricity is electricity generated by hydropower, i.e., the production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water. It is the most widely used form of renewable energy.

How heat is produced?

Heat is produced when energy is converted, in one of many ways, from one form to another. Electric heaters convert electricity to heat; rubbing your hands together (friction) converts kinetic energy to heat, fire (exothermic reactions) convert chemical energy to heat, and so on.
