From the first law of thermodynamics, energy is conserved. Energy can exist in two forms: potential or kinetic. A moving object has kinetic energy, and when an object is subject to friction, heat is generated. Some of the kinetic energy of the object is converted into heat. Heat is really just the speed at which the molecules move. So the kinetic energy (energy of its momentum) is converted into the kinetic energy of everything that is warmed by the friction.

∙ 16y agoNo, if you are going down hill on your bike then friction makes your bike go, but some time it is going to stop.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes it does it brings all of them to a stop

∙ 13y agoforce = mass x acceleration. Frictional force is opposed to the direction of motion so the object decelerates, unless other forces (gravity etc) play any role.

Role of friction in cricket?
To the bowler, friction is a great aid in determining the spin and bounce of the ball. And to a fielder when returning the ball. To the batsman - not much.Similar comments apply to baseball, Netball and basketball etc.
What makes an objest value?
What makes an objects value is probably the material used to form the object. If an object is made of gold or silver, yes it has high value
What is a wind moving in two directions over a prairie makes air in the middle spin called?
tornado
What is similar between force fields and magnetism?
Force field refers to the lines of force one object exerts on another object or a collection of other objects. Note that force fields does not exist in reality, but are really a construct that allows scientists to visualize the effects of objects on other objects; in other words, it makes the math easy. Examples of force fields: Newtonian gravitational field, global Gravitational field, A conservative Electric field, A static Magnetic field. A magnetic field is a field that permeates space and which exerts a magnetic force on moving electric charges and magnetic dipoles.
What force is when a ball rolls across the floor?
The force that stopped it is a resistive force. Assuming there are no external force acting on it, Friction is the cause. When the ball is rolled, a force is applied. According to Newton's second law, F=ma, There is an acceleration, thus increase in velocity. At that same instance, when the ball moves, a natural resistive force, friction is produced. However at the next instance, there is no force pushing the ball, since friction exists when there is velocity, there will be a net force against the direction of travel. Thus generating a Deceleration. This happens till the ball comes to a stop, when it do not have any more speed. "Friction exists when there is motion" - this is a derivation from Newtons Third Law of motion. when the ball is moving it applies some force on ground so the ground also applies an equal and opposite force on the rolling ball. But since the vector component of the force on the ball that set it into motion is larger it keeps rolling till the time the Frictional force can bring it to an complete halt.
Why do some objects move continuously while some moving objects stop suddenly?
Because of friction, Friction is what causes moving objects to slow down and eventually stop. This is an important science idea we can use to describe the force that pushes back on a moving object and makes it slow down and stop.
What are the consequences of friction?
Friction requires that forces be greater to move an object, but friction also makes it possible for an object to stop moving without an external applied force. Remember, friction ALWAYS opposes motion.
How does friction affect objects and how can they be changed?
Friction makes things warmer and can be changed by lubricants
What makes an object in motion slow moving?
friction
What makes brakes squeak?
The friction between 2 objects makes them squeak
What is the push or pull that makes an object move slow down or stop?
The slowing down of moving objects is usually the result of some type of friction.
Why is the absence of friction important when studying interacting objects?
The absence of friction makes it a 100% efficient space to see the reaction between any interacting objects.
What makes friction bigger?
Friction isn't a size. You can increase friction by increasing the pressure on two objects as they pass, or reduce lubrication between them.
What makes sliding difficult?
when two objects slide over each other, there is friction between them, the more friction, the harder it is to move one of the objects over the other.
Does friction makes objects move faster over an inclined plane?
yes
What force a substance that reduces friction and makes objects slide past?
oil
What makes objects tend to keep moving?
That property is called "inertia".
