When the mechanical energy of an object is reduced by friction, it doesn't just disappear due to the law of conservation of energy. It turns into another form of energy instead. That other form of energy is heat.
The thermal energy formula that accounts for friction in a system is Q Nx, where Q is the thermal energy, is the coefficient of friction, N is the normal force, and x is the distance over which the friction acts.
When you rub your hands together, friction between your hands creates thermal energy because the kinetic energy of motion is converted into heat. This heat generation is a direct result of the friction between your hands, turning mechanical energy into thermal energy.
Friction converts kinetic energy into thermal energy due to the heat generated by the interaction of surfaces in contact.
The thermal energy comes from friction between the firefighter's clothing or gear and the pole as they slide down. This friction generates heat, which is a form of thermal energy.

You turn mechanical energy into thermal energy.

Mechanical energy is changed to thermal energy when you rub your hands together. The friction created between your hands generates heat due to the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy.
When two surfaces interact, some energy is lost to thermal energy due to friction between the surfaces. This friction generates heat as a result of the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy.
A vehicals brakes convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction and dissipate the thermal energy into the atmosphere
