Is any energy lost or gained when a flashlight is turned on?

Some energy is changed to heat and lost. The main energy is still be converted to light beam.


What happens when fast moving molecules touch other molecules making them move fast?

depending on the type of collisiontype in Google(Collision Types) and readwhen molecule collide with other moleculeit may loose some energy and the other will gain it in form ofkeniticenergy and speed upif the lost energy =the gained energy in the other molecule it will be elastic collisionand if the lost energy isn`tequal to the gained energy ( some energy transformed to other form as sound ) so it won`tbe elastic collision


When one form of energy is converted to one another form of energy is energy lost or gained?

it depends on conversion. wind to wind energy. Sun to solar Energy. and water to hydro have no loss only gained but on other hand electric to heat energy like also some heat will be lost. in nuclear energy some energy also lost during conversion.


When one type of energy is transformed into another type of energy during a conversion what u is lost?

Total energy is always conserved. What is lost is that usually, some useful energy is converted into unusable energy - for example, heat that is spread out.


What are the negatives of wave power?

some negatives of wave power is that the devices built to harness the energy of the waves are not adiquite enough to do so. So lots of energy is lost and some is gained. some negatives of wave power is that the devices built to harness the energy of the waves are not adiquite enough to do so.

How is calorimetry related to the law of conservation of energy?

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but remains constant in a given system. Therefore, wouldn't calorimetry make use of it because the energy gained/lost by the water would cancel out the energy lost/gained by the substance and result in no change overall?

What happens to lost energy in energy transfers?

No energy is lost, they're all simply transformed or dissipated into something else. Whether it's usable or not is another question. For instance, no machine will ever be able to completely use all of it's energy productively, some will always be disspated as heat energy or sound, etc.


This type of light production is an example of energy being transformed into light energy.?

Yes, light production always involves some other energy being transformed into light energy.
