Friction is the interaction of (relatively) opposed matter and orbital electron energy caused to displace or vibrate thereby transferring sound (or noise) energy through the matter structure due to kinetic energy being displaced in interacting atomic structures. When friction is aplied, the energy between the object increases. It can create thermal energy(heat). Depending on the objects with friction applied, the types of energy created can differ.

∙ 15y agoFriction does not create energy. Energy is in fact used in overcoming friction. Friction in a machine or a vehicle, or drag on an aircraft, means that extra energy has to be supplied by the driving motor or engine. Friction causes heat to be produced, but this is not useful heat, it is lost to the environment, and increases the cost of running the machine or vehicle

Can friction make an object get hotter?
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.
What type of energy is created by friction?
Energy wasted due to friction is converted mostly to heat.
What form of energy is produced as friction?
Friction can produce energy in the form of heat
Is it true that friction doesn't convert energy and that friction actually destroys energy?
false
Friction doesnt convert energy it actually destroys?
Friction converts movement into unusable energy.
Does Friction make energy vanish?
sort of but it really only slows energy down
Can friction make an object get hotter?
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.
Is energy transfer the same as friction?
No, energy transfer is not the same as friction.
Is low friction not useful when trying to make a fire?
You want high friction so that the energy lost to friction is converted to heat energy. The greater the friction, the greater the amount of energy coverted to heat (or sparks). So low friction means you will have to rub your two pieces of wood (or whatever you're using) together for much longer. Good luck!
What type of energy is created by friction?

What form of energy is produced as friction?
Friction can produce energy in the form of heat
What is a sentence you can use for the word Friction?
Friction Is the Force that makes it harder for two things to move against one another. 1) When I rub my hands I make friction. 2) When friction is used , energy is produced.
Is it true that friction doesn't convert energy and that friction actually destroys energy?
false
How is temperature related to the average kinetic energy of a molecules that make up a substance?
because kinetic energy creates friction which will make the tempeture rise
How is friction good and bad?
Friction is good because it provides traction. Friction is necessary for people to stand, or for vehicles to accelerate or break. Friction can also be used to convert kinetic energy to heat or electrical energy. Friction can be bad because kinetic energy is can be lost to friction.
How is water transformed into usable energy?
from friction
