The Effects of Friction. The energy isn't really lost. Some of the. pendulum's original potential energy has. turned into thermal (heat) energy. When you rub your hands together vigorously, you feel the heat building up. You are. converting kinetic energy into heat energy. Blame it on the force of friction!
In this project, you will be studying kinetic friction (also called sliding friction). When two objects are moving relative to one another, kinetic friction converts some of the kinetic energy of that motion into heat. You can feel the heat of kinetic friction if you rub your hands together. The same thing happens when two objects are sliding past one another-for example, when you push a box across the floor. Part of the energy of your pushing moves the box, and part of the energy is lost to kinetic friction.
