What are some examples of losses of mechanical energy?

Slide a box on the floor, you give an impulse to it initially, it gains Kinetic energy (so it has mechanical energy in the form of KE), it stops after sometime because it's KE has been converted to some other forms (heat, sound). read more

When energy is transformed from one form to another, or moved from one place to another, or from one system to another there is some energy loss. This means that when energy is converted to a different form, some of the input energy is turned into a highly disordered form of energy, like heat. read more
