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.

What type of energy is used by objects doing work?
kinetic energy
What type of energy that is lost doing work is lost as what type of energy?
Usually thermal energy. This is true for all types of heat engines, ie gasoline or diesel engines, gas turbines, steam turbines, and so on. If you are talking about mechanical work like a system of levers, or pushing a weight along a surface, friction will be the cause of energy loss and this again will show as thermal energy loss (heat is produced at the points of friction)
Melting gain or loss thermal energy?
For melting thermal energy is needed to work against the attractive force of crystallization. So heat gained from outer force is lost in doing such a work
What work is done without using energy?
If you mean "work" and "energy" in the physical sense, that isn't possible. "Doing work" can be understood as a transfer of energy; doing work requires energy.
What different between power and energy?
Power is the rate of doing work or delivering energy whereas energy is the capacity for doing work.
How does doing work on an object change its energy?
doing work changes the energy because energy is begining transferred to the object and the power will be equal to the amount of energy transferred.
How is work and enegry related?
You can store energy by doing work. And if you have energy in your body (or a system) you can do work using the energy.
Do you need energy in doing work?
Yes. Basically, work is the transfer of energy.
What word describes the capacity to do work?
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work. The word "able" applies to a capable of doing work, or doing it correctly.
What is energy about?
Energy is often defined as the potential for doing work
What is the science definition for energy?
Energy is the capability of doing work
What is the scientific name of the ability to do work?
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work. The word "able" applies to a capable of doing work, or doing it correctly.
