When gasoline is converted to thermal energy Most thermal energy is then converted to mechanical energy What happens to the rest of the thermal energy?

The rest of the thermal energy is typically lost as waste heat, which is dissipated into the surrounding environment. This heat energy is not harnessed to do work and is considered a form of energy loss in the system.

Is a trampoline a waste of thermal energy?

A trampoline itself does not generate or waste thermal energy. However, when people jump on a trampoline, some energy is converted to heat due to friction between the trampoline material and the person jumping. This is a very small amount of thermal energy in comparison to the movement energy expended.
