Why does a moving object come to a stop on a frictional surface? a. the object’s kinetic energy is transformed into mainly heat energy. b. the object’s potential energy is transformed into mainly kinetic energy. c. the object loses all its energy in deformation. d. the object’s kinetic energy is transformed into mainly potential energy.

The correct answer to the question is - A) Object's kinetic energy is transformed into mainly heat energy.

EXPLANATION:

The friction is the opposing force which acts tangentially between two surfaces when there is a relative velocity between them.

As per the question, the moving object comes to rest after the application of frictional force.

Initially the object is in motion.Hence, the energy possessed by the moving object is kinetic energy.

When frictional force is applied on the moving object, the kinetic energy of the moving object will be converted into mainly heat energy. It is due to the fact that friction causes heat production between two surfaces in contact.

Hence, correct option will be that the object's kinetic energy is transformed into mainly heat energy.

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..

the first american roller coaster was the mauch chunk switchback railway, built in the mountains of pennsylvania in the mid-1800s. the track, originally built to send coal to a railway, was reconfigured as a "scenic tour."
