Question

A 20.0 kg curling stone travels 30.0 m along the ice surface. If the frictional force is 10.0 N, the thermal energy produced is

Answer 1

@Astrophysics @ganeshie8 @agent0smith

Answer 2

In simplest terms, Work Done = Force X Distance

So assume the work done by friction is same as the thermal energy.....

why do you need to know the mass of the thing?

Answer 3

@agent0smith so...the formula goona be Work Done = Force X Distance or do we have a different formula for finding the thermal energy?

Answer 4

they are the same

Answer 5

ok thanks a lot

Answer 6

@IrishBoy123 I got work done=300
