Mostly out your radiator in the form of heat, and from braking, which heats up your brake pads. A few new cars are featuring regenerative braking to recoup that lost energy from braking. Tires also generate a lot of heat during use. Some additional energy dissipates as noise, which generates heat in the air as it travels through and fades.

Heat energy is mostly produced - and wasted.


What happens to the wasted thermal energy in a car?

The cooling system moves the heat (thermal energy) to the air.


How do you we waste energy if it can't be destroyed?

You are'nt destroying energy when u wasted it. It is converted into another form of energy. ie.( when you are driving a car, the car's kinetic energy is wasted because it is reduced by the friction encountered, however the reduced kinetic energy is converted into heat energy) Hence, Energy can neither be destroyed nor created.


Is it always easy to collect wasted energy and use it?

Once the energy is wasted, you can't convert it back to useful energy.Once the energy is wasted, you can't convert it back to useful energy.Once the energy is wasted, you can't convert it back to useful energy.Once the energy is wasted, you can't convert it back to useful energy.


If a car wastes 75 percent of its energy how efficent is it?

If a car wasted 75% of it's energy, it's very efficient, as the energy is moving itself away from the car, which means the car would need more fuel to have more energy in the car, so it can get running again.


What is heated by the thermal energy wasted by a food mixer?

kinetic energy is wasted


Do cars use energy?

Yes. A car converts the chemical energy in gasoline to kinetic energy of motion.More than 65% of the energy in the gasoline is wasted, and never becomes kinetic energy.


How come you can you use all of the energy in a gallon of gasoline?

Actually you can't. At least, if you use the gasoline in a car, a large percentage of the energy is wasted.


Wasted energy produced by motor bike?

Noise and heat is wasted energy from motorcycles.
