What happens to mechanical energy when it gradually
disappears? To answer this question one must be aware
that frictional forces are always associated with increases
of temperature.
Experiments performed by Count Rumford,
and those performed by Joule, would be used to establish
the mechanical equivalent of heat. Then I would say that
caloric is not a substance, it is a form of energy.
