According to the laws of thermodynamics, energy can never be "lost" or "made". Energy, in a closed system, is always constant. Energy can however be "lost" to the environment, for instance by friction. If you drag a box over the floor, some of the energy you are putting into moving the box is being "lost" to the environment by friction between the box and the ground (and a very small amount to air friction). You could therefor say that friction is a cause for "loss" of energy.

How does friction affect energy transformations?
It cause degradation of energy transformation. In other word, it loss the efficiency through friction.
Do energy conversions occur without gain or loss of energy?
Almost all energy conversions involve a loss of energy.
When one form of energy is converted to another there is always a loss of this?
There is a loss of heat energy which is a waste product.
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).
What Can cause kinetic energy to change to thermal energy?
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
How does friction affect energy transformations?
It cause degradation of energy transformation. In other word, it loss the efficiency through friction.
When our body sytems don't function properly this may cause?
illness,to feel sick,loss of energy
Does smelling a banana or an apple cause weight loss?
If you consume less energy than your body requires.
Why is the core laminated?
The iron core of Transformers is laminated to reduce eddy currents, which cause a loss of energy.
What makes a liquid a solid?
a loss in energy cause the change from liquid to solid like-wise a rise in energy causes a change from solid to liquid.
Why is the magnetic core laminaled?
The iron core of transformers is laminated to reduce eddy currents, which cause a loss of energy.
Do energy conversions occur without gain or loss of energy?
Almost all energy conversions involve a loss of energy.
Does nifedipin cause hair loss?
No nifedipine does not cause hair loss.
Can Syphillis cause hearing loss?
No, chlamydia does not cause hearing loss.
Smelling bananas cause weight loss?
If you do that all day and eat less energy than your body uses, then yes. Otherwise no.
Does dehydration cause hair loss?
Yes, dehydration can cause hair loss
What causes this loss of solar energy?
the loss of sun
