Detailed explanation-1: -Every conversion that it undergoes has some associated “loss” of energy. Although this energy doesn’t actually disappear, some amount of the initial energy turns into forms that are not usable or we do not want to use. Some examples of these losses include: Heat energy, potentially as a result of air drag or friction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred and transformed. There are a number of different ways energy can be changed, such as when potential energy becomes kinetic energy or when one object moves another object.
Detailed explanation-3: -When an energy transformation occurs, which of the following is true? The total energy doesn’t change.
Detailed explanation-4: -Both of these energies are measured in joules. Energy is never destroyed or lost when changing from potential energy to kinetic energy-it is merely transformed from one energy type to another. This is known as the law of conservation of energy.
