Can the % of Energy lost due to friction be negative? Or is it always positive?
Can the Percentage of Energy Lost to Friction Be Negative?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The percentage of energy lost to friction is always positive, as confirmed in the discussion. A negative loss would imply an addition of energy, which contradicts the laws of thermodynamics. The concept of infinite motion machines that generate energy through friction is deemed impossible.
