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).
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).
What is the constraints of energy?
The usual constraints are the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics: First: energy is conserved; and second: useful energy gets converted into unusable energy - not the other way round.
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 what form is energy lost?
energy exists in several forms and is required for growth, reproduction,movement, cell or tissue damage repair, and other activities of whole organisms, or molecules. -sun is the ultimate source of energy on Earth :)
Can energy be regenerated?
According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, once energy is wasted, it is gone forever - useful energy has become unusable energy.According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, once energy is wasted, it is gone forever - useful energy has become unusable energy.According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, once energy is wasted, it is gone forever - useful energy has become unusable energy.According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, once energy is wasted, it is gone forever - useful energy has become unusable energy.
Which law is Some energy is released as unusable heat energy into the environment?
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.

What is a 2nd law of energy?
You must be referring to the two Laws of Thermodynamics. Stated in terms of energy: 1. The First Law of Thermodynamics is the Law of Conservation of Energy, meaning that energy can not be created or destroyed. 2. However, useful energy is continuously being converted into unusable energy. This is irreversible. This is the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Can the second law of thermodynamics be applied to anything other than food?
The Second Law of Thermodynamics applies to all processes in our Universe. It is not restricted specifically to food. In any process, the amount of unusable energy will increase. In extreme cases it might remain unchanged, but this is rather unlikely, since this implies 100% efficiency.

Does the second Law of Thermodynamics contradict the First Law?
Not at all. The First Law states that energy is conserved - you can't create energy out of nothing, or make it disappear. The Second Law distinguishes usable from unusable energy, and states that the amount of unusable energy will increase over time - but the total (usable plus unusable energy) will still remain constant.Not at all.

What are the release dates for Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee - 2012 Unusable on the Internet 1-6?
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee - 2012 Unusable on the Internet 1-6 was released on: USA: 30 August 2012
What is the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and Entropy?
Usable energy is inevitably used for productivity, growth and repair. In the process, usable energy is converted into unusable energy. Thus, usable energy is irretrievably lost in the form of unusable energy.
In what form is energy lost?
energy exists in several forms and is required for growth, reproduction,movement, cell or tissue damage repair, and other activities of whole organisms, or molecules. -sun is the ultimate source of energy on Earth :)
