friction and mechanical energy loss
Friction refers to the force that opposes the motion or relative motion between two surfaces in contact, resulting in the conversion of mechanical energy into heat. Mechanical energy loss refers to the reduction in the total mechanical energy of a system due to various processes such as friction, air resistance, or other non-conservative forces. It represents the energy that is dissipated or lost during the motion of objects or systems.
