Do machines use power to perform work in a more energy efficient manner?

Yes, a simple machine can create friction, and friction can create heat. You are converting mechanical energy to thermal energy.


What is thermal energy converted into work called?

In a machine is work output is less than work input because some energy is converted into thermal energy?

The missing energy is converted into some form of unusable energy. It may be heat (thermal energy), but it may be other types of energy as well.


Can thermal energy be made to do useful work?

Thermal energy is what is practically the ONLY source of energy for any work. Thermal energy cools, heats, runs motors, etc.


What is the difference between temperature and thermal eenergy?

Thermal energy can be used to do work. Temperature cannot be used to do work. Thermal energy is actually heat energy in transit.


What is the study of relationships between heat work and thermal energy?

Thermodynamics is the study of the relationship between thermal energy and heat and work.


Can solar energy be changed into thermal energy without any work being done?

YesIt is true that solar energy can be changed into thermal energy without any work being done. The solar energy is thermal energy from the sun.


What is waste thermal energy?

Waste thermal energy refers to thermal energy caused by friction. It usually a waste product that results when energy changes form or performs work.


Can thermal energy be used as work?

Yes


How does the thermal energy of a system change when work is done on The system?

Usually the "thermal energy" will increase since work ON the system adds energy. Thermal energy is really not the best term though. A much better term in thermodynamics would be ENTHALPY.
