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.
Friction typically converts mechanical kinetic energy into thermal energy, also known as heat. This energy transformation occurs due to the resistance created when two surfaces rub against each other, causing the generation of heat as a result of the frictional force.
The friction that occurs when you rub your palms together is kinetic friction. This friction is caused by the resistance between the two surfaces in contact as they move relative to each other. The friction generates heat due to the energy being converted from mechanical to thermal energy.
When riding a bike, the energy transformations involve converting chemical energy from food into mechanical energy to pedal the bike, which is then transformed into kinetic energy to move the bike forward. Additionally, some of the mechanical energy is lost as heat due to friction between moving parts.
A body with mass in motion possesses kinetic energy. If it is subject to friction, either on a rough surface or through the air, some of this energy will be converted to thermal energy, ie it will heat up. An extreme example of this is the re-entry of space vehicles into the atmosphere. It could also be converted to potential energy, such as when you fire a bullet upwards, it eventually stops rising, partly because of friction but also because it is being pulled back by gravity.
The energy produced by turbine blades turning is typically mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the turbine.
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.
Mechanical energy (firing pin striking primer) that causes a release of stored Chemical Energy, that becomes Heat Energy (buring gunpowder creates expanding gasses) that becomes Mechanical Energy- shot is pushed out of barrel.
