Where is energy lost?
The question is a little vague perhaps to make a very helpful answer. However, a very relevant example is to explain why if you push a cardboard box on a carpet why it doesn't just keep moving. The friction that is caused by the surface of the carpet and box cause the box to slow down and the energy that is lost (that you originally put into it by pushing it) is lost to heat that heats both the box and the carpet. Loss to heat is the most common form of energy loss.
What byproduct of nuclear energy has caused concerns about the use of this resource and why?

What happens when you get an electric shock from touching a car?
There can be a build up of static electricity on a car, especially on dry days. Static electricity is caused when electrons are knocked off when two objects rub against each other. The electrical charge is discharging itself to the Earth through you.You can get the same shock by dragging your feet across a nylon carpet and then touching someone; or rubbing a comb against your hair and putting it next to small pieces of paper; a plastic pen rubbed on your hair and then held close to a small stream of water will attract the water stream due to static electricity. Hair has to be clean and conditions have to be dry.

When someone rubs their feet on a carpet what particles caused this to happen?
Nobody knows what causes people to rub their feet on a carpet. Indeed,it may be different particles that inspire different people to do that. But allof the static electrical effects we see, including when they walk over to usand zap us, are due to the motion of electrons from one object to another.
