  • How much Thermal Energy is Created?

    Marissa drags a 22 kg duffel bag 16 m across the gym floor. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and bag is 0.15 , how much thermal energy does Marissa create? Known variables: mass (m)= 22 kg drag (s)=16 m coefficient of kinetic friction=(μ) .15 gravity (g)= 9.8 thermal energy equation: μ*m*g*s μ      …
