Explanation / Answer

Friction acts on a body changing both the kinetic andpotential energy, since friction is an external force, It canchange both the potential and kinetic energy even with outwork being done. Normally work done to a system, W is equal to the change inmechanical energy, W=Emec=K+U , butwhen friction is added the work changes due to the addition ofchange in thermal energy, so the work done must be greater,W=Eth+Emec , laws of conservationof energy only allows for the transferal of energy.
