Does friction cause mechanical energy to change to thermal?

Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.


Mechanical energy that has been 'lost' to friction isn't really lost It just is no longer in its mechanical form?

When mechanical energy is lost to friction, it is converted into thermal energy due to the heat generated by the friction. This thermal energy dissipates into the surroundings, which is why the original mechanical energy is no longer in its mechanical form.


What causes some mechanical energy to change to thermal energy?

Normally, friction between moving surfaces causes mechanical energy to convert to thermal energy (heat), as in the brakes of most cars.


What does friction convert mechanical energy into?

Friction converts mechanical energy into thermal energy, causing the surfaces in contact to heat up as a result of the resistance to motion.


When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes?

It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.


When you put on the brakes of a bicycle friction causes some of the mechanical energy of the brakes to change to thermal energy?

When you apply the brakes on a bicycle, friction between the brake pads and the wheel rim converts some mechanical energy into thermal energy due to the heat generated by friction. This heat dissipates into the surrounding environment.


Which type of energy is changed to thermal energy when you rub you hands together?

Mechanical energy is changed to thermal energy when you rub your hands together. The friction created between your hands generates heat due to the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy.


Mechanical energy to thermal energy?

Rub your hands together and they feel warm, right? That's it, rubbing your hands is using mechanical energy, which is by friction then converted to thermal energy (heat).


Does friction causes mechanical energy to be transformed into potential energy?

Friction does not necessarily cause mechanical energy to be transformed into potential energy. Friction typically results in the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy, leading to an increase in temperature in the objects experiencing friction. Potential energy is associated with the position of an object in a gravitational field or an elastic material, and it is not directly influenced by friction.


How is a rubbing your hands together an example of thermal energy?

When you rub your hands together, friction between your hands creates thermal energy because the kinetic energy of motion is converted into heat. This heat generation is a direct result of the friction between your hands, turning mechanical energy into thermal energy.


What can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?

Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy


What energy is produced used in overcoming friction?

Mechanical energy is used, and thermal energy is produced
