What energy is lost in machine?

Friction energy


How does friction impact the amount of mechanical energy produced by a machine?

Friction in a machine can reduce the mechanical energy produced by increasing the amount of energy lost as heat. Friction between moving parts causes resistance, which converts some of the mechanical energy into thermal energy. Minimizing friction through lubrication and proper maintenance can help increase the efficiency of a machine and maximize the amount of mechanical energy it produces.


What is a by product of friction?

As a result of friction, kinetic energy is commonly lost; the result is heat energy.


How is wind energy lost?

Whenever there is movement, some energy is invariably lost due to friction.


Why will a pendulum eventually stop?

Energy will be lost, mainly through friction.Energy will be lost, mainly through friction.Energy will be lost, mainly through friction.Energy will be lost, mainly through friction.


How can energy get lost?

Friction's just one way.


What can cause loss of energy?

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 is energy lost in a toy car?

Friction and wind resistance.


When a pendulum loses its energy where is it going?

Such "lost energy" is usually lost by friction; most of it is converted to heat, sooner or later.


When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes?

It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.


How is friction good and bad?

Friction is good because it provides traction. Friction is necessary for people to stand, or for vehicles to accelerate or break. Friction can also be used to convert kinetic energy to heat or electrical energy. Friction can be bad because kinetic energy is can be lost to friction.


Mechanical energy that has been lost to friction has actually been destroyed?

Nope. One of the strongest pillars of Physics is the fact that energy is never destroyed. Energy lost to friction is no longer available to do the job that you happen to need it for, but it's still there, and it shows up as heat.
