how do levels of thermal energy and speed differ between low and high friction surfaces? how does this difference relate to a transformation of energy?

- "This energy is usually in the form of low-level thermal energy. It is only possible to extract work when there is a temperature difference, so low-level thermal velocity; this means that the force of friction and the applied force are equal in magnitude."

- "An energy transformation is the change of energy from one form to another. Energy transformations occur everywhere every second of the day. There are many different forms of energy such as electrical, thermal, nuclear, mechanical, electromagnetic, sound, and chemical."

Speed reduces with increased friction while thermal energy increases with increased friction

Explanation:

The higher the friction between two surfaces the higher will be the thermal energy while the lower will be the speed.

While in case of no or low friction between two surfaces, the thermal energy will reduce while the speed increases tremendously and causes slipping.

The energy transforms from kinetic energy to frictional energy and then to thermal energy.
