What can happen to energy that cannot be destroyed and its not used to do work?

it is transfered or turned into waste thermal energy


Can electrical energy be depleted?

No, electric energy cannot be depleted, electricity produced when used is given off as waste energy, the lost energy is then increasingly spread out into the surrondings, it cannot be reused or destroyed.


How do you we waste energy if it can't be destroyed?

You are'nt destroying energy when u wasted it. It is converted into another form of energy. ie.( when you are driving a car, the car's kinetic energy is wasted because it is reduced by the friction encountered, however the reduced kinetic energy is converted into heat energy) Hence, Energy can neither be destroyed nor created.


What happens to the energy you waste?

The energy in this universe can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can be transferred from one form to another so all the energy that you waste wil be converted to some other form.


What is waste to energy conversion?

Waste to Energy Conversion is when you take waste (the combustible parts of household garbage, for example, that cannot be otherwise recycled) and burn it to run an electricity generator. Then you have used waste to make energy.


The exhaust from a car contains energy that cannot be used. scientists often refer to this energy that cannot be used as waste energy?

i don’t know


Conversation of energy?

The correct term is "conservation of energy". It either refers to making efforts not to waste energy, or to the physical law which states that under everyday circumstances, energy can't be created or destroyed.


Energy can be lost from this?

Under normal circumstances, energy can't be created or destroyed. But in any activity (and energy is required for any activity), part of the useful energy is converted into unusable energy - for example, waste heat.


What kind of energy produces radioactive waste?

Nuclear Energy produces radioactive waste because if there isnt any sign of nuclear waste/energy in the sullotion/object then it wouldnt be counted as 'Radioactive'.


Does mitochondria get rid of waste?

The function of mitochondria is to provide energy for the cells to continue doing their function so it cannot get rid of waste


Energy loss means that?

Since energy can't be created nor destroyed (First Law of Thermodynamics), a loss or waste of energy really means that useful energy is converted into unusable energy (Second Law of Thermodynamics).


How is waste heat is inevitable in ecosystems?

Energy is neither created nor destroyed by chemical processes, merely transferred. Since energy is also lost every time energy is transferred between organisms, that lost heat must go somewhere. That lost energy becomes waste heat in the environment.
