Kinematics
A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…
Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem
In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy is not created or destroyed but is transformed from one form to a different form.

When the book slides across the table, their surfaces rub together. Friction is produced in this process. This friction in turn converts the kinetic energy of the book to thermal energy. Hence the book loses its kinetic energy because it changes to thermal energy. When the book loses all its kinetic energy, it comes to a stop.

Conclusion:

The book’s kinetic energy is changed into thermal energy when it slides across a horizontal table.
