Message:
When you stop on a gymnasium floor, you are creating friction. Friction
results in the release of various forms of energy. We usually think of
heat energy being produced. In this case, sound energy is also produced.
Since certain shoes squeak, while others do not, it must be the vibrations
of the rubber of the shoes producing the sound energy.
