What energy does friction make?

Friction is the interaction of (relatively) opposed matter and orbital electron energy caused to displace or vibrate thereby transferring sound (or noise) energy through the matter structure due to kinetic energy being displaced in interacting atomic structures. When friction is aplied, the energy between the object increases. It can create thermal energy(heat). Depending on the objects with friction applied, the types of energy created can differ.


What are 3 uses of friction?

Friction is used in car brakes to slow down or stop the vehicle by converting kinetic energy into heat. Friction is used in the grip of shoes to prevent slipping and provide traction when walking. Friction is used in the striking of a match to generate heat and ignite the match head.


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.


What is the work of friction formula and how is it used to calculate the energy dissipated due to friction in a mechanical system?

The work of friction formula is W Fd, where W is the work done by friction, F is the force of friction, and d is the distance over which the force is applied. This formula is used to calculate the energy dissipated due to friction in a mechanical system by multiplying the force of friction by the distance over which it acts.


What force and energy is used when screwing?

When screwing, force is applied to turn the screw, typically using a screwdriver or a power tool. This force is converted into rotational energy to drive the screw into a material. The mechanical energy used comes from the work done by applying the force to the screw and overcoming the friction between the screw threads and the material.

How does friction affect stopping distance?

Some of the kinetic energy of a body in motion is used up in overcoming friction, which acts in the direction opposite to that of the motion. The reduction in energy means that the stopping force needs less time to do its work.


What kind of energy is used in friction?

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

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.


A car's motor does 2500 kJ of work in moving the car however the car only has 18 kJ of kinetic energy. Explain how this can happen?

The car's motor does work to transfer energy, a portion of which is used for purposes other than kinetic energy, such as overcoming friction, air resistance, or internal mechanical losses. Therefore, not all the energy output by the motor contributes to the car's kinetic energy, resulting in a discrepancy between the work done by the motor and the car's kinetic energy.

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.
