it's quite understandable, you see, friction slows down the object because it resists it. friction also keeps some things in the air, like Frisbee's, it can also make things move, for one, when the wind blows away a piece of paper, and propellers and aerodynamics keep aircraft's in the air.

friction is a dissipative force, ergo the effect of friction is to reduce the energy content of a system. Thus, the moving object will slow down and stop eventually in the absence of a driving force.

slow it down. or like a brake. make it stops. and the energy is transform from moving to heat.
0.5m(v)sqr = m*c*dt.
c is kalor capasity
dt is termal changes

Slows it down, maybe heats it up a bit.

typically decelleration and the production of heat
