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!
You can take a hot bath or shower, get into a sauna or hot tub, apply a heat pad to a desired area (though that will only penetrate a couple centimeters deep), or you can simply rub your hands together to produce the heat caused by the friction.
