How does friction affect perpetual motion machines?
IN SIMPLE WORDS: Friction turns mechanical energy into heat energy which causes a loss in mechanical energy and loss in possibility to continue motion..
Why does the mechanical (total) energy of the skater not change over time?
It certainly does; mechanical energy will be wasted due to friction. Otherwise, if you disregard friction, the fact that the total mechanical energy is conserved follows from conservation of energy.
Mechanical energy is converted into heat energy when?
... friction occurs.
How does mechanical advantage differ from ideal mechanical advantage?
Mechanical advantage is determined by physical measurement of the input and output forces and takes into account energy loss due to deflection, friction, and wear. The ideal mechanical advantage, meanwhile, is the mechanical advantage of a device with the assumption that its components do not flex, there is no friction, and there is no wear.
Does friction causes mechanical energy to be transformed into potential energy?
Thermal

Can an objects mechanical energy change?
Yes, it can. For instance, if you have friction in the system mechanical energy of the system is not conserved.
Does friction causes mechanical energy to be transformed into potential energy?
Thermal
Friction causes mechanical energy to be transformed into what?
Heat.
What type of energy is friction?
Mechanical generating heat
Mechanical energy to thermal energy?
Rub your hands together and they feel warm, right? That's it, rubbing your hands is using mechanical energy, which is by friction then converted to thermal energy (heat).
What energy does friction convert to mechanical energy?
Thermal energy commonly known as heat.
Which type of energy is the mechanical energy of the car converted?
Most of it will be converted to heat, via friction.
