What happen to heat energyafter it is released to theatmosphere?
According to the conservation of energy, energy is transformed into other forms of energy. In real cases, for example, in engines, not all chemical energy (from the fuel) is converted to kinetic energy (correct me if I'm wrong) because some of the input energy is dissipated as heat energy. So logically, the heat energy is released to the atmosphere. What happens to the heat energy after that?
The problem is that heat energy is dissipated, i.e. heat energy that is produced spreads out. The radiators in a lecture room produce heat energy. This heat energy dissipates and the surrounding area becomes very slightly warmer etc. This dissipated heat energy cannot be regained in a useful form.
How is energy conserved when adropped object hits theground?
I know that when an object is held at a particular height above the Earth, it has a quantity of potential energy associated with it, but no kinetic energy. When the object is dropped, it loses potential energy and gains kinetic energy, thereby ensuring that energy is conserved. However, I've never understood what happens when the object finally strikes the ground; at this point, it has no potential and no kinetic energy. I'm sure some of it is released as heat and sound, but that can't account for all the energy, can it?
If the collision between the object and the ground were perfectly elastic, you would find that the object would bounce back up, from the ground, to the initial height that it was dropped from. However, when the collision is inelastic (like the case you are referring to), energy is dissipated by three means: compression waves generated in the air (sound), deformation of the objects involved in the collision, and some heat release due to friction. Energy is this case (as in every case) is conserved, the problem is that useful energy has been turned into very useless forms of energy - heat, sound, and deformed objects.
