What kind of energy does friction have?

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 kind of surface increase friction?

energy


What kind of energy does friction cause?

heat/thermal


What energy is produced used in overcoming friction?

Mechanical energy is used, and thermal energy is produced


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 becomes of the energy used in the overcoming friction?

The energy used to overcome friction is converted into heat. Friction converts mechanical energy into thermal energy as objects slide or rub against each other. This heat energy dissipates into the surrounding environment.


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.


What kind of energy is used in burning a match?

When you light a match, chemical energy is transformed to thermal energy, primarily by oxidation. When you actually strike it, the triggering energy is mechanical energy that creates heat through friction to begin the oxidation process (combustion).


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.
