Does the force of friction still happen out in space?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Friction is a force that opposes the motion of objects when they are in contact with each other. In space, objects may not experience friction in the same way as they do on Earth due to the absence of air or other surfaces to create friction. However, if two objects in space come into contact, they can still experience friction. Therefore, the force of friction can still happen out in space.Rate this question:

When friction force occurs between two objects energy is released in the form of _____________.
- A.
Rubbing
- B.
Heat
- C.
Cold
- D.
Melting
Correct Answer
B. HeatExplanation
When friction force occurs between two objects, energy is released in the form of heat. Friction is the resistance that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact. As the objects rub against each other, the friction generates heat due to the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy. This heat energy is a result of the increased kinetic energy of the particles in the objects, causing them to vibrate and collide more intensely. Therefore, heat is the form in which the energy is released during friction.Rate this question:
