What type of energy is lost energy on energy?

energy can not be lost it can only be transported into other things


What will be the kinetic energy of an arrow having a potential energy of 50J after its shot from a bow?

Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.


What happens to energy that seems to be lost in an energy chain?

Energy is NEVER lost in an energy chain. It is simply converted into a different source of energy or matter. For example, in swing, a person would get on, and use mechanical energy to power it so it can move. What people don't realize is that on the top, the metal chains that hold the swing together also moves along with the swing. Up there, the mechanical energy that moves the chains a little, and friction starts to occur. But that's not it. Instead of helping with the movement below, frictional force above the swing causes energy to be somehow "lost" in the trail. That's not true at all. The energy "lost" is converted into heat in the process.


How does the space change as energy is lost?

Energy is lost because it is a bund molimentary.


Is energy gained or lost when it converts from kinetic to thermal due to friction?

The total energy of course won't change - you won't "gain" or "lose" energy (First Law of Thermodynamics). However, note that you are basically converting useful energy into unusable energy (Second Law of Thermodynamics).

Why doesnt the energy from a producer all transfer to the secondary consumer?

Not all the energy from a producer transfer to a secondary consumer because some of this energy is lost along the way.


Why does deposition occur at certain places along the coast?

Deposition happens at certain places where waves have lost their energy. Waves with high energy pick up material and carry it along wih them. As waves lose their energy, them drop the eroded material. This hapens when the wave has either lost energy due to the distance travelled or met a conflicting current or a beach where the material will be deposited.


When friction slows an object down where does the lost kinetic energy go?

If you're travelling along a flat road, your potential energy remains constant, so accelerating or braking has no effect on potential energy.


Is energy lost when energy changes?

Energy is never lost or destroyed.
