PLEASE HELP QUICK Why does thermal energy increase on a roller coaster Especially when it goes up the second hill class=

Respuesta :

as friction does negative work, the mechanical energy decreases. The work done by friction transforms mechanical energy into heat, a non-mechanical form of energy. As a result, the temperature of the track and the wheels increase.
