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.
When a pendulum swings and is not continuously pushed it will stop because some of its energy was changed into what?
The energy of the swinging is converted into heat energy by friction.
When energy is released when friction is applied?
friction creates heat. Largely heat, which comes from the external agent energy causing the friction. Also some possible rearrangement of the atomic/molecular structure of the surface, and the energy for that also comes from the external agent.
Imagine that you drop a ball it bounces a few times and then it stops your friend says that the energy that the ball had is gone where did the energy go?
Some of the energy has converted into heat energy because of the friction, the kinetic energy is gone, but there is potential energy. Also, some of the energy has converted into sound energy from the basketball bouncing. Your friend is wrong because there is still energy like kinetic energy, energy cannot disappear it gets converted.
How does friction play a role in the conservation of energy from one form to another?
In many energy conversions, some energy gets lost - in some cases through friction. Of course, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can't really diseappear, but it does get converted into low-value forms, i.e., unusable energy.
What transformotion of energy happen in a rolling toy?
Kinetic energy is used to overcome friction and is dispersed as heat; some energy is converted to sound.
When there is friction some of the potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy?
Yes, that is correct.
When there is friction on a roller coaster some of the potential energy is not converted into?
Kinetic Energy.
Why not all potential energy is converted to kinetic energy in roller coaster?
Because some of it is converted into heat due to friction.
What slows the motion between two objects in contact with each other?
Some of the energy is converted from the motion of the bodies to sound and heat when it is used to overcome friction between the two bodies.
What causes some of the potential energy of a moveing roller coaster to be converted to thermal energy?
Friction
What causes some of the potential energy of the moving roller coaster to be converted to thermal energy?
Friction
As an object moves downhill some of the energy is?
Before it rolls downhill, it has gravitational potential energy. As it rolls downhill, part of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (including rotational energy); due to friction, this will soon be converted into waste energy, mainly heat.
When there is friction on a roller coaster some of the potential energy is NOT converted into kinetic energy. It is also converted into?
When you give your dog energy bites it keeps he/she stronger and with a better heart.

Does the work energy theorem hold if friction acts on an object?
Yes, some work is converted into heat due to the friction.
What causes some of the potential energy of a moveing rollar coster to be converted to thermal energy?
Friction on the tracks of the ride.
