When a car is brought to a stop by friction on level ground, it loses what?

When a car is brought to a stop by friction on level ground, it loses what?

  • Correct Answer: mass energy
  • residual energy
  • exhibit energy
  • kinetic energy

Explanation: How Nonconservative Forces Affect Mechanical Energy Mechanical energy may not be conserved when nonconservative forces act. For example, when a car is brought to a stop by friction on level ground, it loses kinetic energy, which is dissipated as thermal energy, reducing its mechanical energy. Figure 7.15 compares the effects of conservative and nonconservative forces. We often choose to understand simpler systems such as that described in Figure 7.15(a) first before studying more complicated systems as in Figure 7.15(b).
