Almost everything has potential energy and that can increase and decrease depending on the objects position and mass. First off you need some type of power which is energy (you need more energy in than you want to put on the object that is getting work done on it, because the mechanical energy will transform into other types such as heat, light, and sound.) It also depends on what type of machine you are talking about simple, or advanced machine. Maybe you could refine what type of machine and then I could make the answer even more clear. Sorry for the simple answer I just don't have enough background knowledge to give a more in-depth answer.

What is the purpose of energy trading?

Energy trading is necessary in order to move energy from where it is produced to where it is needed. Wholesale energy may be traded as energy itself or in its physical form, for example natural gas.


What extra heat given off by machines as they work?

It's not exactly "extra". It's a part of the energy that you put INTO the machine in order to get the work done. Machines always do LESS work than the energy you put into them, and the rest turns into heat. You always lose some. That's just the way things work.


Why is an energy source needed in order to have a working electric ciruit?

An energy source is needed to provide electrical energy to the circuit components such as resistors, capacitors, and bulbs. Without an energy source, there would be no electrical current flowing through the circuit, and no power for the devices to operate.

Does Energy allow force to work?

Energy is the capacity to do work. In order for force to do work, there must be a transfer or transformation of energy within a system. So, energy is needed for force to perform work.
