Solution
Friction opposes relative motion between surfaces in contact. Due to roughness of the surfaces in contact heat is produced when there is relative motion. Thus, a part of energy is lost as heat and sometimes sound due to friction. Since, this heat is unusable it is a disadvantage of friction.
