Typically the force here is friction. As the object moves through some medium friction is generated between the particles of the object and the particles of the medium, converting kinetic energy into thermal energy.

When an object falls and touches ground the kinetic energy transforms to which energy?

When an object falls and touches the ground, its kinetic energy is converted into potential energy and other forms of energy, such as sound and heat. The potential energy is stored in the object as it is lifted back up, ready to be converted back to kinetic energy as it falls again.


When an object loses kinetic energy due to a force of kinetic friction is the loss of kinetic energy transformed primarily into potential or thermal energy?

Kinetic friction is associated with thermal energy (and sound or light).


When a vehicle is slowing down what changes its momentum and kinetic energy as force of brakes is an internal force?

When a vehicle is slowing down, the external force of friction between the brakes and the wheels is what changes its momentum and kinetic energy. This force works against the vehicle's motion, transferring kinetic energy into heat and bringing the vehicle to a stop. The force of the brakes is an internal force that generates friction to slow down the vehicle.


How is kinetic energy related to heat production?

Kinetic energy is directly related to heat production through the movement of molecules. When an object or substance gains kinetic energy, its molecules move faster, colliding with each other more frequently and with greater force, which generates heat. The heat produced is a form of energy resulting from the kinetic energy of the particles within the system.


What is kinetic energy loss?

The braking force x stopping distance (assuming constant braking force) is equal to the loss of kinetic energy of the vehicle.And if it's not constant, you can integrate the dot product of the force vector and the differential x-vector.If you want the power of heat generation, you will need to find how much energy is being dissipated (i.e. how much kinetic energy is lost) per unit of time.

When a bus brakes to a stop its kinetic energy transforms?

When a bus brakes to a stop, its kinetic energy transforms into heat energy due to friction between the brake pads and the wheels. This heat energy is dissipated into the surroundings.


Why In a standard vehicle the braking system transforms the kinetic energy into what?

In a standard vehicle, the braking system transforms the kinetic energy into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors. This heat dissipation slows down the vehicle by reducing its kinetic energy.


Describe the role of energy transformation in the production of electricity?

Heat energy (as steam or hot gas) transforms to kinetic energy through the turbine. The kinetic energy transforms into electricity through the rotor of the electric generator.


How does chemical transforms to kinetic?

Chemical energy usually transforms to heat energy. Heat energy causes expansion of materials, producing kinetic energy. In some cases, chemical energy may cause a direct expansion of a material, producing movement (kinetic energy) but the heat stage is usually present. Gun powder, dynamite and gasoline all are chemical-heat-mechanical.


What does nuclear energy transform to?

Nuclear energy transforms to thermal energy (through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy (eg produces steam that drives steam turbines). The kinetic energy transforms into electric energy (through electric generators).


Does heat energy increase kinetic energy?

Yes, heat energy increases the kinetic energy of molecules by making them move faster and collide with greater force. This increase in kinetic energy results in a rise in temperature.


How is conduction used in automotive technology?

It transforms potential energy into kinetic energy by moving one heat transfer to another in different locations of the vehicle.


When an object falls and touches ground the kinetic energy transforms to which energy?

When an object falls and touches the ground, its kinetic energy is converted into potential energy and other forms of energy, such as sound and heat. The potential energy is stored in the object as it is lifted back up, ready to be converted back to kinetic energy as it falls again.


What force produce heat from kinetic energy?

Friction is the force that converts kinetic energy into heat when two surfaces rub against each other. The resistance between the surfaces generates thermal energy as they move past one another, resulting in the production of heat.


How energy transformations that occur in a toaster different from those in an electric fan?

In a toaster, electrical energy is converted to thermal energy to heat the coils and toast the bread. In an electric fan, electrical energy is converted to kinetic energy to rotate the blades and create air movement. So, in a toaster, the energy transformation mainly involves converting electrical energy to heat, while in an electric fan, it involves converting electrical energy to mechanical motion.

What force is acting when the kinetic energy of a moving object is converted into thermal energy?

The force responsible for converting kinetic energy into thermal energy is typically friction. As two surfaces rub against each other, the kinetic energy of the moving object is transformed into heat due to the resistance created by the frictional force.
