Yes, I believe so. As it gains upward momentum it is using thermal energy, and when it stops, and falls with gravity back to earth it is using kinetic energy. I think that's right.
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
The increase in thermal energy of a cylinder is not directly related to the vertical falling distance. The thermal energy change is primarily influenced by factors such as the material and mass of the cylinder, initial temperature, and heat transfer mechanisms. The falling distance may affect the kinetic energy of the cylinder, but this does not have a direct impact on its thermal energy change.
no
No. Friction with the air does with an object in free fall in the earth's atmosphere. Gravity causes a falling body to accelerate so it changes potential energy into kinetic energy.
thermal expansion
when abody is heated definitely its thermal energy increases so far that it can even cause a change in its physical appearance
If you increase temperature you increase thermal energy.If you double the amount you have the temperature does not change but the thermal energy does.Temperature and thermal energy are the same since they both use kinetic energy. Temperature uses the thermal energy when the heat measures the average of the kinetic energy. The thermal energy uses the kinetic energy, when it's averged together with the kinetic enery and the others to make the thermal energy.==========================Answer #2:Wow !Temperature is to thermal energy as depth is to water.
Energy is not a force but rather a property that enables objects to do work or cause a change. Energy exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical energy. Forces, on the other hand, are interactions that cause objects to accelerate or deform.
When two objects are touching each other and are the same temperature, heat energy will not flow from one object to the other. This is because there is no temperature difference to drive the transfer of heat. The objects will reach thermal equilibrium, where the average kinetic energy of their particles is the same.
Temperature and thermal energy are related in that they both measure the degree of molecular motion within an object. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles. A change in thermal energy will cause a change in temperature, and vice versa.
A falling book exhibits a change from potential energy (rest) to kinetic energy (motion).
