In any type of movement there is friction. This must be accounted for.


What happens to the total energy of the pendulums as it swings What determines the maximum total energy of the pendulum?

The total energy falls by a small amount which is used to overcome air resistance.


What force is used to overcome friction?

Some driving force is required.


Why it is not possible to attain 100 percent efficiency in lever?

Some of the force used in a lever will be to overcome friction, this means that not 100% of the force can be used to lever as some of it will be used to overcome friction as well as an multitude of other forces.


When a machine drills holes in metal some of the work input is used to overcome what?

Friction :) it says so in in my science book.


What kind of energy is used in friction?

Kinetic energy or the energy of motion is used which is then transformed to heat energy.


What energy is produced used in overcoming friction?

Mechanical energy is used, and thermal energy is produced


What slows the motion between two objects in contact with each other?

Some of the energy is converted from the motion of the bodies to sound and heat when it is used to overcome friction between the two bodies.


What happened to the work used to overcome friction?

It's mostly converted to heat. Some of it can be used for the physical work of wearing down the surfaces causing the friction, depending on the hardness of the surfaces and their friction coefficient.


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 does a car accelerate speed?

A car accelerates when the engine produces more power than what is needed to overcome friction. The car reaches its maximum speed (on the level) when all the engine power is being used to overcome friction.
