The closest law is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Note that not necessarily "most" energy will be converted to unusable heat, but it is almost inevitable that some will.

No - what you are describing is a consequence of the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Is Energy can be change completely from one form to another?

Usually not; some energy is usually wasted. Although energy can't really be destroyed, part of the energy is converted to an unusable form.Usually not; some energy is usually wasted.

When energy changes from one form to another some of the energy is always change to?

Some of the energy will usually be converted into an unusable form of energy, often as heat.


When energy is used to overcome friction some of the energy is converted into?

When energy changes from one form to another some energy gets turned into work or heat. Due to the laws of thermodynamics you can not complete transfer all energy from one form to another without doing work (letting out or gaining heat).


Can some energy is lost during every transfer or conversion.?

Usually some energy is wasted, yes. Energy is not "lost" in the sense of conservation of energy; energy is always conserved. However, useful energy gets converted into unusable energy all the time.


Why is there less energy in the last consumer than first?

In each trophic level, some energy does not go to the consumer, and instead is released to the environment in the form of kinetic energy or wasted chemical energy.


What does mechanical energy transform to?

A body with mass in motion possesses kinetic energy. If it is subject to friction, either on a rough surface or through the air, some of this energy will be converted to thermal energy, ie it will heat up. An extreme example of this is the re-entry of space vehicles into the atmosphere. It could also be converted to potential energy, such as when you fire a bullet upwards, it eventually stops rising, partly because of friction but also because it is being pulled back by gravity.


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.


When one type of energy is transformed into another type of energy during a conversion what u is lost?

Total energy is always conserved. What is lost is that usually, some useful energy is converted into unusable energy - for example, heat that is spread out.


How does friction play a role in the conservation of energy from one form to another?

In many energy conversions, some energy gets lost - in some cases through friction. Of course, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can't really diseappear, but it does get converted into low-value forms, i.e., unusable energy.


As energy is transferred among organisms some escapes from the environment as what kind of energy?
