Conservation of Energy, Part 2
- If friction is present, mechanical energy will not be conserved. Part of the mechanical energy will appear as internal energy, usually in the form of heat. However, the total energy is conserved if one takes into account the different forms of energy.
- For an object sliding down an incline, the mechanical energy at the top is equal to the sum of the mechanical energy at the bottom and the amount of heat generated.
