Question
when energy is put into a system, some of that energy is lost as what?
energy is never lost
heat, sound, and light
The law of conservation of energy states energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted to less useful forms in a system. When energy is input to a system, usable energy is often dissipated into non-useful, dispersed forms like heat, sound, and light. The option "energy is never lost" is a true general principle but does not answer the question asking what form the unusable energy takes when it leaves the system's usable pool.
