If you're travelling along a flat road, your potential energy remains constant, so accelerating or braking has no effect on potential energy.

If the law of conservation of energy says energy can't be created or destroyed where does the kinetic energy at the particle level get transferred?
If a moving object slows down due to friction, its kinetic energy gets converted to kinetic energy of individual particles - that is, the objects involved in the friction, and the surroundings, heat up.
What effect does a force have on a moving object when the force is not along the objects path?
Air resistance slows down the object. The kinetic energy accelerates the object. Friction creates a reaction between the surface and the object.
Which friction slows down moving bodies kinetic or static?
Friction reduce the velocity, hence, it affect kinetic energy. The potential energy from static pressure is then drawn to maintain the velocity (transformation of potential -> kinetic energy). We then see the friction reduce the static pressure but actually, it affect kinetic first.
Why does the toys can stop before it begins to roll back to you?
Friction and air resistance. All of its kinetic energy gets converted to heat.
How does cold affect kinetic energy?
The cold slows down the molecules thus decreasing kinetic energy
What type of energy change results when friction slows an object down?
The kinetic energy of the object changes into thermal energy.

up yours and around the corner
What does friction do to the dragster?
It slows it down as energy is lost as heat and therefore the dragster has less kinetic energy.
What effect does friction have on a moving body?
Friction converts kinetic energy into heat. The result is that the moving body slows down.

What are the 2kinds of friction?
Static Friction and Kinetic Friction. Static Friction is what friction that slows you down. While Kinetic friction is sliding friction.
What is Thermal energy relating to a roller coaster?
Thermal energy is heat. Heat is associated with motion (like a roller coaster) because of friction. Friction slows down the speed of an object and changes some of its kinetic energy into heat.
How might friction affect an object from outer space entering your atmosphere?
Friction slows objects down, changing kinetic energy into thermal energy. Usually an object from outer space will be travelling very, very fast as it enters the atmosphere and the friction (from the air resistance) will slow it down a lot. This energy is converted to heat, which is why objects can burn up in the atmosphere.
What type of friction slows down a sliding object?
sliding friction slows down a sliding object
What happens to the kinetic energy of a skateboard that is coasting along a flat surface slows downand comes to a stop?
it change into potential energy beace it slows down
