Where does energy go when it is transferred?

It is lost as heat.


What will be the kinetic energy of an arrow having a potential energy of 50J after its shot from a bow?

Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.


Why velocity of a mass attached to a spring is maximum at mean positions and zero at extreme positions?

This can easily be understood with conservation of energy. Assuming that no energy is lost, potential energy is continuously converted to kinetic energy, and vice versa. At the mean position, the potential energy is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (and hence the velocity) is at maximum.This can easily be understood with conservation of energy.

What happens to the energy that is not transferred to the next tropic in a energy pyramid?

It is lost to into the environment and ultimately the universe.


What happens to the potential energy and the energy of a ball as it rolls down a hill from a position of rest at the top of the hill?

The potential energy gets less until the ball gets to the bottom of the hill, at which point the potential energy is zero. The potential energy that is lost, gets converted to Kinetic energy of the ball that goes faster and faster as it gets more and more of the Potential energy.

How is waste heat is inevitable in ecosystems?

Energy is neither created nor destroyed by chemical processes, merely transferred. Since energy is also lost every time energy is transferred between organisms, that lost heat must go somewhere. That lost energy becomes waste heat in the environment.
