Thermal and Kinetic Energy Conversion

[jasongog]

A man is running and chemical energy converts to thermal and kinetic. The output (thermal and kinetic ) has the same amount of energy as the input (chemical). But what does thermal and kinetic energy convert to?

 

[Drakkith]

Eventually the energy is converted to thermal radiation and is radiated away from the Earth.

Eventually the energy is converted to thermal radiation and is radiated away from the Earth.

So the ultimate form of all types of energy is thermal energy?

 

[Drakkith]

So the ultimate form of all types of energy is thermal energy?

As far as I know, yes.

No, it can even be light energy.

 

[Drakkith]

No, it can even be light energy.

I assume he was including thermal radiation in the term "thermal energy".

Yes I was

Okay :)!
