Final end of all energy lost is thermal energy. Thermal energy is the least valuable energy. The concept of entropy is rely on the loss of working capability of the system to the thermal energy. In general, the term for thermal energy lost can be called waste heat.
thermal energy lost
thermal energy (heat)
It's lost as thermal heat to surroundings.
Because some of the energy is absorbed by surroundings
No energy is lost in such a collision, although kinetic energy is converted into thermal and possibly into potential energy.
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
Thermal energy can be converted into alot of things just go find out what it is.

Thermal Energy
A great deal of energy is lost in the form of heat.
Thermal energy lost in any machine can not be recoverd. Sometimes part of the energy can be recovered, but never all of it. Basically, heat is wasted, or unusable, energy.
