How do you convert kinetic energy to heat energy?

Friction would be the easiest way.


How does contracting a protostar convert gravitational energy into thermal energy?

Sliding friction tends to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy, thermal energy being heat, kinetic energy being movement.


How is friction good and bad?

Friction is good because it provides traction. Friction is necessary for people to stand, or for vehicles to accelerate or break. Friction can also be used to convert kinetic energy to heat or electrical energy. Friction can be bad because kinetic energy is can be lost to friction.


You convert kinetic energy into thermal energy when you rub two sticks together because?

Kinetic energy is movement energy. So when you rub two sticks together, the rubbing is the kinetic energy. The friction that this causes releases heat. Heat is thermal energy. So due to friction you can convert kinetic energy into thermal energy by rubbing sticks together.


What do brakes do?

A vehicals brakes convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction and dissipate the thermal energy into the atmosphere


What energy does friction convert to mechanical energy?

Friction converts kinetic energy into thermal energy due to the heat generated by the interaction of surfaces in contact.


Friction causes kinetic energy to be coverted into?

Friction causes kinetic energy to be converted into heat energy.


Friction converts kinetic energy to?

Friction converts kinetic energy to thermal energy, causing the surfaces in contact to heat up. The energy lost to friction results in a decrease in the overall kinetic energy of the system.


What is the science behind breaks?

The science behind BRAKES is that you use friction to convert kinetic (moving) energy into heat energy to stop a vehicle.


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).


What kind of friction is rubbing your hands together?

The friction produced by rubbing your hands together is kinetic friction, which occurs when two objects are moving relative to one another. This type of friction converts kinetic energy into heat energy.


How can the work-kinetic energy theorem explain why the force of sliding friction reduces the kinetic energy of a particle?

Work = change in Kinetic Energy Because friction acts in the opposite direction of the motion of an object, kinetic energy must be decreased in order to maintain the above equation. Friction opposes motion. Friction converts the kinetic energy of a particle into heat and sound.
