What does friction convert mechanical energy into?
Thermal energy, commonly known as Heat.
When you rub your hands together on a cold day you use friction to convert what energy?
The friction force converts mechanical energy of the body into heat energy that is released. Work done by mechanical energy=Force x displacement =Heat produced.
How does mechanical energy change into heat energy?
It can convert in several different ways; one common way is through friction.
When you rub your hands together on a cold dayyou use friction to convert?
Rubbing together of hands converts mechanical energy to heat energy.
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.

How do you convert windnergy into mechanical energy?
how do we convert wind energy into mechanical energy

Rubbing together of hands converts mechanical energy to heat energy.
What causes some mechanical energy to change to thermal energy?
Normally, friction between moving surfaces causes mechanical energy to convert to thermal energy (heat), as in the brakes of most cars.

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.
What force opposes mechanical energy?
friction
What does a motor convert?
A motor convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Is it true that friction doesn't convert energy and that friction actually destroys energy?
false
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.
