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.

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.

Friction and kinetic energy.


Which form of energy is produced by rubbing?

Friction is created by rubbing two objects with different electrical charge.


What form of energy is produced as friction?

Heat energy is produced as a result of friction when two objects rub against each other. This process generates heat due to the resistance created between the surfaces in contact, causing the kinetic energy to be converted into thermal energy.


Friction doesn't convert energy if actually destroys it true or false?

True. Friction converts mechanical energy into thermal energy, causing a loss of energy in the form of heat. It does not actually destroy energy, but it makes the system less efficient by dissipating energy in the form of heat.

What form of energy is produced when hands are being rubbed together?

Mechanical energy is produced when hands are rubbed together due to the motion and friction between the surfaces rubbing against each other. This mechanical energy can generate heat as a result of the friction, warming up the hands.


What do you call the form of energy generated by friction?

The form of energy generated by friction is called mechanical energy. Friction between surfaces can convert mechanical energy into heat energy.


What type of energy is produced when you rub your hands together?

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. The change in temperature produced by rubbing your hands together is called friction, and it is the conversion of chemical energy in your cells into kinetic energy (The force that makes you rub your hands together) and that kinetic energy is partially converted into thermal energy. The conversion of kinetic to thermal is called friction.


Is Heat Energy Produced When Molecules Move?

Yes, heat energy is produced when molecules move. The movement of molecules results in friction and collisions between them, which generates heat energy as a form of kinetic energy. This process is known as thermal 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.


How might the unwanted energy be produced by the hinges og a squeaky door?

Unwanted energy in the form of noise is produced by friction at the hinges of a squeaky door when the metal components rub against each other during movement. This friction generates vibrations that propagate as sound waves, resulting in the squeaking noise that we hear. Lubricating the hinges can help reduce this unwanted energy by minimizing friction and the resulting noise.


What form of energy is produced when an electric fan is in use?

Mechanical energy is produced from the rotation of the fan blades as they move the air. Additionally, there may be some heat energy generated as a result of friction and resistance within the fan motor.
