Yes.
To demonstrate: Press your hands together firmly, and rub them together rapidly.
Friction produces heat.

∙ 14y agoWe're pretty sure that it can. If it couldn't, then steam locomotives
wouldn't work, and the railroads would never have been built.

What energy does food produce?
Food produces mechanical energy because mechanical energy is to do something and food gives you the energy to do something.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------No.Food is the energy from sunlight stored as chemical energy. When you eat food yo convert it into a different sort of chemical store (again chemical energy) before you can use it as mechanical energy. Even then most of the food is used keeping you warm and in this case the food is converted into heat rather than mechanical energy.
What are some examples of heat energy transformation?
Thermal energy, mechanical energy, electrical energy and light energy.
What energy transfers in a firework?
Energy in firework is present in form chemical energy which will be converted into light and sound .and small part of energy is converted heat .then the remaining energy is converted into kinetic energy after explosion.
Which describes the energy conversions used to make a car down the street?
Assuming it just rolls down a slope, without the engines working: gravitational potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy will eventually be converted to heat energy.
What produces heat?
Mechanical energy
Can heat energy change into mechanical energy?
It will still be heat energy, but it can be converted to mechanical energy
How heat energy is converted to mechanical energy in your body?
It isn't. Chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.
What is the maximum amount of mechanical energy that can be converted to heat?
Why should there be a maximum? If there is friction, ALL the mechanical energy will eventually be converted to heat.
What is heat energy and steam energy converted to?
mechanical energy
Mechanical energy is converted into heat energy when?
... friction occurs.
When a car is driven the chemical energy in gasoline converted into?
Chemical energy is converted into heat energy which is then converted into mechanical energy
How is mechanical energy conserved?
It isn't. Sooner or later some mechanical energy will be wasted and converted to heat. It is also possible to convert other types of energy into mechanical energy.It isn't. Sooner or later some mechanical energy will be wasted and converted to heat. It is also possible to convert other types of energy into mechanical energy.It isn't.

Sooner or later some mechanical energy will be wasted and converted to heat. It is also possible to convert other types of energy into mechanical energy.
Where does the energy go?
energy is never lost. It is either converted from one form of energy to another (from heat to mechanical, from mechanical to electric, from electric to heat).
Can one form of energy be converted to another?
Yes, it can be converted into another kind of Energy. Example: The chemical energy of petroleum is converted to mechanical energy in a car engine with some loss as heat and sound energy. The mechanical energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Where does the lost energy go?
energy is never lost. It is either converted from one form of energy to another (from heat to mechanical, from mechanical to electric, from electric to heat).
What kind of energy can be converted into heat light mechanical sound and chemical energy?
Kinetic energy
When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes?
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
