Energy Transfers
1)
Kinetic Thermal
As the car runs down the ramp, friction caused by the rough
wood creates thermal energy. Therefore, some of the cars
kinetic energy as it moves converts into thermal energy.
2) Kinetic Kinetic
Kinetic energy is exerted when the bouncy ball spins around
the motored birthday cake wheel. When the elastic collision
occurs as the bouncy ball hits the steel ball, the kinetic energy
is transferred to the steel ball.
