How is energy lost by movement?

Energy is never actually lost, just transfered from one object to another. The idea that something will lose energy by moving is true, but only because it takes energy to move. If I were to run three miles, I had better be sure that I ate something substantially healthy because if I don't have energy, I may not make it all the way. As I finish running, my energy is released as heat into the biosphere where it will be recycled and used within something else, perhaps taking part in a rainstorm. One way inanimate objects gain and lose energy is through motion. There is a certain level of potential energy that an object has: This is like stored energy based on an object's surroundings when not in motion. Once in motion, that energy transfers to kinetic energy, based on momentum and friction, and is used until the object is no longer in motion, and thus, becomes potential energy once again. This example carries with it a great number of possibilities and variables depending on the circumstances, and therefore, can be analyzed in many other ways.


Can energy be transfered from one object to another?

energy can neither be created nor destroyed. it can only be transferred from one object to other in different forms. for eg: when water is stored in a dam , it possess potential energy but when the dam is opened for various purposes the water then is used to run the turbines using its kinetic energy.

Is it correct to say 'covet for' something?

No.'Covet' is commonly used as a transitiveverb, which means that it is usually followed by a direct object, 'something' that is represented by a noun or pronoun.As a transitive verb, its action is dependent on the presence of an object to 'act upon'.To covet is to want 'something' very much, particularly something which another person has."The chauffeur coveted / his employer's wealth/."(the direct object of his covetousness was 'his employer's wealth'.)"Sarah was always jealous of her sister's popularity. She became obsessed with it. She coveted it (direct object) night and day."'Covet' can be used as an intransitive verb, ("She covets.") but when it is is used with an object, the construction is verb + object, NOT verb + 'for' + object.Synonyms:To covet is to 'long for' or 'yearn for' something, but with 'covet' this desire is so strong that it is often for something we have no right to possess or enjoy.Construction: Notice that 'to long' and 'to yearn' are used with 'for'."He longed for the day (object) when he would retire."-------------------------------------------------------------------For more information, see Related links below.
