Energy Loss From Friction Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Energy Loss From Friction is:

$EFL = FF \times D$

Where:

EFL is the Energy Loss From Friction (N-m (J))
FF is the force due to friction (N)
D is the distance of force (m)

What is Energy Loss From Friction?

Energy Loss From Friction is the energy dissipated as heat when a force is applied over a distance due to friction. It is calculated by multiplying the force due to friction by the total distance over which the force is applied.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Force due to friction: 10 N
Distance: 5 m

Step 1: Calculate the energy loss:

$EFL = 10 \times 5 = 50 \text{ N-m (J)}$

Therefore, the Energy Loss From Friction is 50 N-m (J).
