Heat due to friction. Due to friction, kinetic energy is converted to heat and not potential energy; thus, the kinetic energy is "lost" since heat cannot easily be converted back into kinetic energy.

∙ 10y agoI assume this would refer to heat energy. The reason is that you can convert any type of energy into heat energy, but you can't convert all of it back into other types of energy. Read about the Second Law of Thermodynamics, or alternately about Entropy, for more details.

Is kinetic energy often called stored energy?
No, Stored energy is Potential Energy. Kinetic Energy is already in motion.
Resistance in wires causes electrical energy to be converted to what energy form?
Most resistors convert electrical energy into thermal energy, which is often called heat.
What is the energy associated with electric current is called?
Moving electrons possess kinetic energy, but the energy you are referring to is called electricity
Energy that travels by radiation is often called what?
When we use the term "radiation" as regards energy, probably the first thing that comes to mind is electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic (EM) energy is often called electromagnetic radiation. We know that this could be radio waves, microwave energy, infrared light, light from the visual spectrum, ultraviolet light, X-rays or gamma rays. All of these are forms of electromagnetic radiation, and a link can be found below for more information.Radiant energy.
What is energy of motion is called?
Energy of motion is called kinetic energy.
Why is heat called the graveyard of kinetic energy?
Heat is referred to as the graveyard of kinetic energy in that once kinetic energy has been transformed into heat, it is no longer usable.
