When a rocket re-enters the atmosphere and its nose cone becomes very hot where does the energy come from?
The energy that heats the rocket comes from gravity, but is released in heat as the nose cone encounters friction from air molecules. While in space, there are few molecules to encounter, but as it enters the thicker atmosphere, collisions increase and this produces heat in the air and on the rocket nose. In the case of the Space Shuttle, all of its initial velocity (energy) gained at launch is expended as heat as the shuttle lands, and it returns to its original gravitational state again.
