Yes. Friction converts kinetic energy into other forms of energy, including heat energy. As the surface(s) rub together, a small thermal energy will be created.

Can friction make object yes or no?

Friction can make object no.


What can friction do to a moving object?

friction can slow down the object or make it stop. it can also cause the object to create heat.


If the force applied to an object doesnt make the object move then no friction has been done is this true?

Yes, there is us. Static Friction.


What role does friction play when moving a heavy object?

It can make moving heavy objects easier for example sliding friction you can slide it or rolling friction you can roll the object across some kind of round cylinders or even fluid friction with water running under the object can make it easier.


Why are your brakes binding as they get hotter?

friction


What will happen to the temperature of the rockets nose cone as it moves through the air?

it gets hotter the faster it goes the hotter it will get (this involves friction) or another way of saying it is: The temperature will change due to friction, the faster it goes the hotter it gets (friction is present)


Would friction make an object faster?

No, friction is a force which always acts in the direction opposite to that of motion.


What object does make the biggest friction?

Different substances produce different amounts of friction. But generally, rough surfaces produce the maximum friction.


How does the force of friction for a sliding object vary with speed?

The friction can make you slow down , but if you lose friction you will go at a faster rate of speed


Does more friction make an object go faster or slower?

Friction will cause objects to slow down.


How does friction make an object move?

It doesn't. It keeps objects from moving.


What occurs when heat flows from a hotter object to a colder object?

The hotter object will get colder than it was, the colder object will get hotter than it was. Heat flow will continue until both objects are at the same temperature.
