When friction acts between an object and the system, how does this change the balance of kinetic and potential energy on the system?     Options: a) Friction will cause there to be an energy loss, so kinetic plus potential energy is no longer conserved  b) Friction causes a faster transfer of kinetic energy to potential energy  c)Friction ultimately causes objects to stop moving, so you always end up with zero kinetic energy and all the energy is potential  d) Friction cuases a slower transfer of kinetic energy to potential energy
