Friction is NOT energy. Friction is a FORCE (rather than a form of energy). It can be used in the formula:
W = F·d
where "W" stands for work (which IS energy), F stands for force (like friction), and "d" stands for distance over which the force is exerted. Typically when friction is present some kind of energy of motion such as mechanical energy or kinetic energy or potential energy is being transformed into heat.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of surface increase friction?
energy
What kind of energy does friction cause?
heat/thermal
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 kind of energy conversions happen when you skateboard?
friction, heat, kinematic
When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes what kind of energy?
When mechanical energy is lost due to friction, it is converted into thermal energy, also known as heat energy. This occurs because the friction between surfaces causes the molecules to vibrate and create heat.
What kind of friction is rubbing your hands together?
The friction produced by rubbing your hands together is kinetic friction, which occurs when two objects are moving relative to one another. This type of friction converts kinetic energy into heat energy.
What energy changes the friction in a car?
That one kind thats really hot sometimes
When you apply the brakes what kind of friction is that?
When you apply the brakes, you are experiencing kinetic friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into thermal energy, which helps slow down the vehicle.
What kind of friction occurs when you rub your palms together?
The friction that occurs when you rub your palms together is kinetic friction. This friction is caused by the resistance between the two surfaces in contact as they move relative to each other. The friction generates heat due to the energy being converted from mechanical to thermal energy.
When two materials are rubbed together there is often a build - up of what kind of energy?
Heat energy is formed due to Friction.
What do you call the form of energy generated by friction?
The form of energy generated by friction is called mechanical energy. Friction between surfaces can convert mechanical energy into heat energy.
Is energy transfer the same as friction?
No, energy transfer is not the same as friction.
