Question
Chapter 4.3, Problem 30R
To determine
To Explain: The way friction affects the mechanical energy of a system.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Mechanical energy is sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
Mechanical energy remains conserved in a closed system in the absence of dissipative forces. When friction is present, the kinetic energy of the system decreases which implies that mechanical energy decreases.
Conclusion:
Due to friction, the mechanical energy of the system decreases.
