Friction converts mechanical energy into heat energy. When two surfaces rub against each other, the kinetic energy of motion is transformed into thermal energy due to the resistance and heat generated by the interaction of molecules at the contact point.

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.


Friction doesn't convert energy - it actuaaly destroys it true or false?

False. Energy is converted to another form. However, it is converted to UNUSABLE 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.


Is it true that friction doesn't convert energy and that friction actually destroys energy?

Friction converts kinetic energy into thermal energy as objects rub against each other. Although some energy is lost in the form of heat due to friction, energy is not actually destroyed. It simply changes form from mechanical energy to 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.


What is opitical transducer?

A device that convert one form of energy into another form is called the transducer. so optical transducer is a device that can convert electric energy into optical energy.


What is function of transducer?

to convert energy or information from one form to another


What are 2 cellular organelles the transform one form of energy into another form of energy?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are two cellular organelles that transform one form of energy into another form of energy. Mitochondria convert chemical energy stored in food molecules into ATP, which is a form of energy that the cell can use. Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.


Is generator a transducer?

no... generator cannot be a transducer. Transducer is a device that converts one type of energy into another. Whereas generator is a device which convert any form of energy into electrical energy..


What energy produced by machines?

Machines produce mechanical energy through the movement of their parts, and electrical energy when powered by electricity. Some machines also generate thermal energy through processes like combustion or friction. Overall, machines convert one form of energy into another to perform tasks.


What do pants convert solar energy into?

Pants do not convert solar energy into anything. Pants are made of materials like cotton, denim, or synthetic fabrics, which do not have the capability to convert solar energy into another form.


How does friction play a role in the conservation of energy from one form to another?

In many energy conversions, some energy gets lost - in some cases through friction. Of course, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can't really diseappear, but it does get converted into low-value forms, i.e., unusable energy.
