Some of the remaining energy from a system could be lost as heat to the surrounding environment or converted into a different form of energy, such as sound or light. This process is often described by the principle of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
When a wave is partially reflected at a boundary, some of the energy is transmitted into the new medium while the remaining energy is reflected back. This results in a division of energy between the reflected and transmitted waves.
When a hammer strikes a nail, the potential energy stored in its raised position is transformed into kinetic energy as it moves downward. Some of this kinetic energy is transferred to the nail, causing it to penetrate the surface. The remaining energy is dissipated as sound and heat.
Sounds bounce when they strike a surface and are reflected back towards the source. The surface of the object absorbs some of the sound energy while the remaining energy is reflected. This process of reflection creates echoes and reverberations in an environment.
When you walk, the chemical energy stored in your muscles is converted into kinetic energy, allowing you to move. As you walk, some of this kinetic energy is also dissipated as heat due to friction between your feet and the ground.
True
Some of the remaining energy obtained from plants may be used for growth, reproduction, and cellular processes within the organism. Additionally, energy can be stored in various forms, such as fats or carbohydrates, for later use. Some energy may also be lost as heat during metabolic processes, while a portion can be transferred to other organisms through consumption in the food chain. Ultimately, the energy flow sustains ecosystems and contributes to the overall balance of energy in the environment.
some of the sugar is consumed by the plant while the remaining sugar is left at the stem to be stored as starch
When some of the liquid evaporates, the temperature of the remaining liquid can decrease. This occurs because evaporation is an endothermic process, meaning it absorbs heat from the surrounding liquid to provide the energy needed for the molecules to transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase. As a result, the average kinetic energy of the remaining liquid molecules decreases, leading to a drop in temperature.
Kinetic energy is used to overcome friction and is dispersed as heat; some energy is converted to sound.
Because solar energy doesn't happen at night.

Yes.
The remaining energy at each trophic level primarily dissipates as heat due to metabolic processes, such as respiration and movement. Additionally, some energy is lost through waste products and uneaten parts of organisms. This inefficiency in energy transfer means that only about 10-20% of the energy from one trophic level is passed on to the next, leading to a decrease in energy availability as one moves up the food chain.
The remaining energy that mice obtain from plants is primarily used for their metabolic processes, including growth, reproduction, and maintenance of body temperature. Additionally, some energy is stored as fat for later use, while a portion is lost as heat during digestion and metabolism. Ultimately, not all energy from the plants is efficiently converted into usable energy for the mice, reflecting the energy transfer inefficiencies in food webs.
Rust is the result of a metal reacting with oxygen in a moist environment in a redox reaction. Some of these redox reactions happen spontaneously, others need some extra energy. The reactions that don't require additional energy will happen on their own.
Nothing. For anything to happen at all, energy - more specifically, available energy - is required.
