The kinetic energy of the object changes into thermal energy.
Friction can stop an object in motion eventually. Friction causes drag on the object's motion energy and slows the object down by transferring the energy from one type to another. When the energy which acted on the object to put the object in motion is fully transferred, the object's motion will stop in the direction the motion and friction are applied. An example of this type of friction is the brake on a car. Friction can, however cause the object to change the direction of motion and simply stop affecting the object afterward. An example of this type of friction is the bumper rail of a pool table.
The gravitational potential energy does not change if the desk is horizontal. The work done is in overcoming the friction between the object and the desk.
Heat - generated by friction.
Friction and air resistance cause some of the mechanical energy of an object to change to thermal energy so the mechanical energy of the object is not destroyed. Rather, it is transformed into thermal energy. the total amount of energy always stays the same. ur welcome. you have to give me 5 bucks.
Work = change in Kinetic Energy Because friction acts in the opposite direction of the motion of an object, kinetic energy must be decreased in order to maintain the above equation. Friction opposes motion. Friction converts the kinetic energy of a particle into heat and sound.
The motion of the object might slow down or just change itself object would resist moving or keep moving. An object can have static friction, sliding friction, or rolling friction.
Friction slows things down
Yes Friction=Reaction force x COF Reaction force = mass x gravity So Friction=mass x gravity x COF ^ Change the mass, change the friction
Generally yes, but it really depends on the specific situation. -- If the work is done to lift the object, then the object's potential energy is increased. -- If the work is done to accelerate the object, then the object's kinetic energy is increased. -- If the work is done to move the object against friction, then the energy supplied is dissipated, and the object's energy may or may not change, depending on whether or not it is somewhat heated by the dissipation.
Kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy through friction. When a moving object is stopped by some sort of friction, the decrease in the object's kinetic energy is converted into equal amounts of thermal energy. Considering the Law of Conservation of Energy states that the energy in a closed system remains constant, it is impossible that the kinetic energy of an object could be lost altogether, so rather it is simply transformed into a different type of energy, thermal energy.
friction
Friction is a resistive force, and always acts in a direction opposite the motion of the object. Surface friction is caused by the sliding movement of one surface over another. Air friction is caused by air molecules sliding passed an object. In both cases, it works by transferring kinetic energy from the moving object to the atoms/molecules of whatever is causing the friction.
