What is a by product of friction?

As a result of friction, kinetic energy is commonly lost; the result is heat energy.


What Energy is created as a result of friction?

my guess is kinetic energy


How does potential energy affect force?

It's really the other way round - force affects potential energy. Potential energy is the RESULT (not the cause) of a force being required to move something - for instance, against the force of gravity or an electric field.


The energy that an object has as a result of its position or shape?

potential energy


What is the energy that is stored as a result of position or shape?

Potential energy


Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is?

Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is potential energy.


Does kinetic energy always convert back into gravitational potential energy?

If you stood at the top of a building with a bottle rocket and aimed it straight at the ground and fired it, it's kinetic energy would exceed it's initial gravitational potential energy. It's kinetic energy would equal the acceleration due to gravity plus the energy of the rocket thrust minus any resistance to air as a result of it's shape.


What effect does friction have on a moving body?

Friction converts kinetic energy into heat. The result is that the moving body slows down.


Define elastic potential energy and gravitional potential energy?

Gravitational potential energy, is the energy an object possesses by reason of its position in a gravitational field. While elastic potential energy, is the energy stored by a material or object as a result of deformation e.g. the energy stored in a bow when it is stretched.


What is potintial?

Potential energy is energy that is stored within an object, and this energy may do work. Gravity is what gives the potential energy to any object, and is a result of gravity pulling down


What would be the skaters speed if all the potential energy could be converted into kinetic energy?

Clearly, that depends on the amount of potential energy. If given the height, calculate the potential energy with the formula for gravitational potential energy (PE = mgh). If mass is not given, you can assume any mass (it doesn't affect the result), or use a variable "m". Then, assuming it gets converted to kinetic energy, use the formula for kinetic energy (KE = (1/2)mv2), replace the KE with the energy you calculated before, and solve for v (the speed).


Motion is an example of which kind of energy?

It is a Kinetic energy and energy in any object due to its height is a result of potential energy.
