All forms of energy can be converted to any other type. The questions is not what kind, but rather how much power is needed to do so. many of these conversions are out of human kinds grasp to create (or understand for that matter).

Heat energy does not form into anything. The "loss of energy" is actually the energy converted into heat.

Why all energy converted to heat energy?

All kinetic energy gets converted to heat because of friction. All light energy gets converted to heat because of absorbtion. All electrical energy gets converted to heat because of resistance. Potential and chemical energy are stored forms of energy, that will turn into heat-, kinetic- and light energy when used. So in the end there will only be heat energy.


Are various energy forms interconvertible?

Yes, various forms of energy are interconvertible. Look at the following examples. Sound energy is converted into electrical energy in a microphone. Electrical energy is converted into sound energy in a loud speaker. Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy in a motor. Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy in a generator. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when a stone is dropped. Electrical energy is converted into heat energy in a room heater. Chemical energy is converted into sound, light and heat energy while firing crackers


Why is heat a form energy?

That means that other forms of energy can be converted to heat, and - with some limitations - heat can be converted to other forms of energy. A certain amount of movement energy (for example) always converts to a certain amount of heat. So, it certainly looks as if there is "something" that the different things (for example, movement and heat) have in common. This "something" is now called "energy".


When you are watching your TV electrical energy is being converted into what different forms of energy?

-- sound energy -- light energy -- heat energy


Can heat turn into energy?

Heat is energy. If you have a certain amount of heat energy, it isn't possible to convert all of it into other forms of energy; some of the heat energy is lost forever, in the sense that it can't be converted.

Is it true that the heat energy of the universe is steadily growing less available?

it is not possible that heat energy of the universe is steadily growing less available b/c according to the law of thermodynamics heat energy is converted in to other forms of energy nd other forms of energy are converted into heat energy in this way the heat energy and other forms of energy of the universe remains unchanged or constant

Can forms of energy be converted into other forms of energy?

Heat energy is, to an extent, unusable energy. If you have a heat DIFFERENCE, you can convert part of the heat energy - but only part of it - to other kinds of energy. That part, you can of course convert to practically any other type of energy.
